Deep fakes. Dick pics. Disappointed parents.
God it’s good to be a girl. Sam is a young star thrust into the public eye, facing scandal in the media, unrelenting contractual obligations and an agent who’s a complete rhymes with runt. Forced into a fake relationship with her co-star to promote a new film, she can barely keep track of what’s real. The eyes of the world are on her, but she just can’t leave her hotel room. The fans tell her she’s everything, so why does she feel like nothing?
A searing analysis of Internet culture and our morbid fascination with celebrity, Beautiful Nothing depicts a girl at the edge of adulthood, prematurely reckoning with getting sexualised by the media and being both loved and hated by millions of strangers online. This show discusses what it means to come of age under scrutiny and judgement, and questions whether authenticity is possible in the Internet age.
