A provocative stage experience exploring the hunger for fame in the digital age arrives in Mexico to shake up young audiences and rekindle their faith in live art. Halfway between theatre and TikTok Live, this piece becomes a unique performance experiment that questions humanity’s obsession with being seen. What are we willing to sacrifice for attention, and what does it mean to be an artist when the algorithm determines our worth?
Famehungry is the result of an intergenerational collaboration between acclaimed British artist Louise Orwin and a Gen Z TikTok star. Together, they turn their lives into “content” in a dizzying production that blends dance, performance, multimedia and live streaming with real-life creators.
Both versions of the show —one staged in a theatre and the other on TikTok— offer a parallel and immersive experience, raising urgent questions about the future, visibility and the fragility of our online identity. Chaotic, funny, uncomfortable and deeply honest, this work redefines theatre for a generation that lives between the infinite scroll and the need to be someone.
