Portrait of the artist as a young influencer

The show investigates the dynamics of intimacy, addiction and fame, experienced by girls and women on social media and it is built as an answer to questions that address our real identity, compared to the one we project online in a controlled manner.

The process of this show explored the performance space as a potential safe space – offline – for the team of the show, partially consisting of persons who work and are known, first of all, online.
