A helter-skelter nosedive into TikTok, The Almighty Algorithm and the attention economy to ask what it means to be an artist now. Louise Orwin has read the writing on the wall. Performance art is dead. (Maybe.)
Using very real, very live TikTok experiences, join award-winning cult performance artist Louise Orwin in a Sisyphean mission to make art and find hope in the relentless, almighty algorithm-feeding attention economy.
Enlisting the help of famous Gen Z TikToker Jax Valentine (22 years old, 81k followers) to guide her (38 years old, 5k followers) through a brave new world of dance trends, 24 hour live-streaming, enforced face filters and endless monetizable content, FAMEHUNGRY aims to answer a very personal question: how can this performance artist compete in a dizzying digital age?
Loud, fast, unpredictable, and unlike anything you've seen before, this is theatre redefined for the brat generation (sort of).
