FAMEHUNGRY by Louise Orwin
Description
FAMEHUNGRY is a helter-skelter nose dive into the TikTok universe and the attention economy, asking what it means to be an artist now. Fusing performance art and very real and very live TikTok Experiences, join award-winning performance artist Louise Orwin as she cosplays as a TikToker in a real life experiment hunting for fame and fortune.
Made in collaboration with an actual Famous TikToker, The Almighty Algorithm, and a host of TikTok-Famous Faces, FAMEHUNGRY asks what the future looks like if all roads lead to TikTok.
“Louise guides us through the strange world of TikTok and social media in real time. Her fascinating explorations offer a neat (and sometimes messy) balance between the cerebral and the visceral. This timely performance tackles important questions on artistry, technology, and generational difference.” Robin Deacon, Artistic Director, SPILL Festival
“FAMEHUNGRY is an incredible watch – uncomfortable, uncanny, whilst also being incredibly funny. The audience become the voyeurs of Louise’s obsessive online research, before she then turns the tables on us to consider our own online engagement and footprint.” Ellie Simpson, Pleasance
What are ‘Pay What You Can’ tickets?
We believe that that arts should be accessible for all. For this reason some of our shows and events this year will be ‘Pay What You Can’, meaning that you decide how much you can or want to pay. This expands access to the arts for those who may not have been able to participate otherwise, or gives others the chance to support those who cannot by paying a bit extra.
You will see multiple prices available for each show or event. You can select whichever price you can afford or would like to pay – thank you.
