Beautybomb
A snippet in the life of a radicalised influencer.
(Frascati Productions, 2023)
Beautybomb, a radical adaptation of ‘Bombsong’ by Thea Dorn, tells the story of a young influencer who grows up with Instagram as an extension of herself. Through her obsession with the internet she absorbs tons of information about sexism and becomes entangled in a suffocating ideal of beauty. Gradually she develops a messiah complex and unfolds the desire to free people from patriarchy by exploding them all at once.
