FIB - NCP car park, Leicester

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.

Beginning in a room straight out of Roswell, you receive a quick explanation about what Fib is (an interactive life experiment looking at why we lie) and then the fun starts.Ushered to 14 "truth booths", your group of 14 then plays musical chairs until all the boxes have been visited, taking about an hour. To quote Forrest Gump, Fib is a bit like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're going to get.Inside one booth is a ringing telephone. You answer and listen to a furious-paced monologue from a salesman on the edge. It's very, very funny. Opening another door reveals a toilet. Its tiles are covered in truthful scribbles. Some make shocking reading. By far the best and most intense experience is a booth where a woman is telling you a deeply personal lie as you sit together at a "restaurant" table. It's hard to stop grinning at the fun of it: Fib is quite possibly the Alton Towers of modern art, no lie.
