Description Celebrity is a new solo work stylised as a lecture-performance combined with a filmic character narrative. It is an investigation targeting the Westernised phenomenon of celebrity, the paradox of celebrity addiction and the pandemic of celebrity worship. A potentially controversial dark comedy, it draws a wide, glittery blurred line between the factual, the fictional and the godly to examine what the existence of celebrity serves and what it dominates. Celebrity is unapologetic, charismatic, and uncensored. Guest appearance by Thatcher Christian.
