About this event
“Bold, brassy and combustible” multi-award winning artist and 8-hour-a-day-screen-time user, Charlotte Otton (Feminah, Let me finish.) delivers her new solo show I Watched Someone Die on TikTok. A 60 minute live infinite doom scroll that combines raw data, raw emotions and raw comedy. A pixelated and picaresque solo show about “the algorithm”—that vague, shadowy, inhuman entity and the unsettling experience of navigating today’s digital hellscape.
Relatable for anyone whose algorithm has latched onto their insecurities and fears and turned an innocent mindless scroll into a daily dose of life's latest horrors.
"Infinitely thrilling and terrifying" ★★★★ The Age, 2024
"Executed exceptionally well, [...] Otton is a charismatic performer with an impressive skill set" Theatre Travels, 2024
