Would you lie for likes?
A Suffocating Choking Feeling is a razor-sharp, satirical deep-dive into the warped world of Insta-“truth”, where fact and fiction blur and what wins is having a story worth telling.
Inspired by Australian con artist Belle Gibson (the subject of Netflix’s Apple Cider Vinegar & BBC’s Bad Influencer), who lied about having cancer to earn likes as a wellness influencer, this award-winning explosive solo show smashes together live theater with interactive social media experiments, inviting you to scroll, troll and cancel Simone Hamilton.
A Suffocating Choking Feeling plays with the boundaries of truth and ethics, testing audiences’ willingness to believe.
