The universal is a big canvas to fill, and there is nothing more universal than the role of lies, large or small, little and white, or otherwise, in everyday life. MBD’s hybrid performance-installation, FIB, commissioned by the NOW festival team and Leicester’s Phoenix Arts for the 2003 NOW festival, succeeds in filling the canvas and leaving the visitor with a wry and personalised view of this huge subject.

There is a real skill to telling porkies and Leicester's Metro-Boulot-Dodo has made it an art.

Fib, the oddest experience to be found the legal side of LSD, is set in a car park basement and runs until April 8.

I admit to having felt apprehensive and even a bit cynical in advance of seeing FIB, a theatrical experience about telling lies. It takes place in a dark and cavernous car park basement and involves walking alone into 14 tall white boxes, the size of an average loo.

There's a lot of electrical wiring but no plumbing in evidence at FIB, an intriguing performance-art piece from Metro-Boulot-Dodo housed in the basement of an NCP car park in Leicester.
