FAMEHUNGRY is a helter-skelter nosedive through the TikTok universe, asking what it means to be an artist now. Fusing performance art and very real and very live TikTok Experiences, join award-winning cult London performance artist Louise Orwin in a Sisyphean mission to make art and find beauty and hope in the relentless, Almighty Algorithm-feeding attention economy.

Made in collaboration with a famous TikToker, FAMEHUNGRY is a wild ride through the TikTok universe for two simultaneous audiences – a theatre audience, and an unsuspecting TikTok audience – that questions the lengths we go to in order to be seen and find fame. Loud, fast, unpredictable, funny and occasionally messy, and unlike anything you’ve seen before, this is theatre redefined for the brat generation (sort of).
