Cleo has holed up in her bedroom to write her dissertation on structural racism, when a tweet triggers her: « At 21, Kylie Jenner becomes the youngest self-made billionaire ever ». But what’s self-made about inherited money and white privilege? Cleo fires off a series of anonymous tweets under the hashtag #kyliejennerfidead to express her frustration about how white women appropriate and benefit from black culture and stereotypes. Cleo’s best friend voices concerns about Cleo’s digital fantasies as the lines between the digital and IRL become blurred.
In her witty, in-yer-face, fast-paced, darkly-comical drama, Jasmine Lee-Jones picks up on current debates about black identity, beauty ideals, cultural appropriation, racism, queerness and wokism and immerses us in the ever shifting realms of young people. The playwright situates a legitimate argument about ownership of black female bodies into the form of hate-speech, thus provocatively and intelligently blurring points of view.
The two realms of the play call for explorations of physicality that reflect what it means for different bodies to be exposed in a public space. Anonymous avatars will be besieged, befriended, rejected, projected on, used as punching bags and have casts spelled on them. Associative visuals and kinetics combined with the text’s categorical agency create a tense insecurity about radical viewpoints thus nuancing what can and cannot be said and by whom.
After the performance on January 25th, the artistic team invites you to a post-show discussion..
.
Jasmine Lee-Jones’s play is a provocative, sharply-written, audience-needling thrill.
