FAMEHUNGRY

FAMEHUNGRY is a one woman nose-dive into the helter-skelter world of TikTok, the attention economy, and what it’s like to live your life online. Fusing dance, performance art, and Very Real TikTok Experiences, this show explores fame, the future and the sneaking suspicion that social media is distracting us from the apocalypse- but the catch is it happens both in a theatre, and on TikTok Live.

Made in collaboration with a famous TikToker (to be announced soon), a Cambridge researcher, and the almighty Algorithm, join award-winning performance artist Louise Orwin as she asks what a future might look like if all roads lead to TikTok.

The show will be premiering and going on tour in 2024 and through 2025 - dates to be announced very soon.

Please get in touch with producer@louiseorwin.com to enquire about becoming a tour partner.
