ACCLAIMED performance artist Louise Orwin brings her TikTok themed show to Exeter Phoenix on November 7.

Her show FAMEHUNGRY is a helter-skelter nose-dive into the TikTok universe and the attention economy, asking what it means to be an artist now.

Fusing performance art and very real and very live TikTok Experiences, join award-winning performance artist Louise Orwin as she cosplays as a TikToker in a real life experiment hunting for fame and fortune.

Made in collaboration with an actual Famous TikToker, The Almighty Algorithm, and a host of TikTok Famous Faces, FAMEHUNGRY asks what the future looks like if all roads lead to TikTok.

Performed simultaneously for an in-person theatre audience and online, Orwin plays a game with a TikTok Live audience, challenging them to get her to 20,000 likes. Orwin experiments with the Algorithm live on stage to ask what it means for the future of Performance Art when the 24 hour entertainment machine in everybody’s pockets is your competition. 

A bold hybrid of online and IRL experiences - and with a few surprises along the way - this is a vital show that taps into an existential question about the live arts and the future of performance: in a crumbling arts economy and a growing digital monoculture, where do we turn to find hop.

FAMEHUNGRY was Louise Orwin’s fourth show presented at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe (Humiliation Piece, A Girl and a Gun, Oh Yes Oh No) and is being made with support from Arts Council England,
