Sydney Fringe Festival: I Watched Someone Die on TikTok

13 September @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm AEST

A pixelated plunge into the algorithmic abyss, Charlotte Otton delivers an award-winning, dark, and hilarious infinite doom scroll that dissects the digital hellscape we find ourselves subscribed to.

A 60 minute live infinite doom scroll that combines raw data, raw emotions and raw comedy. A pixelated and picaresque solo show about “the algorithm”—that vague, shadowy, inhuman entity and the unsettling experience of navigating today’s digital hellscape.

On a mindless scroll Charlotte watched a TikTok of a 5-year-old girl dying. Then a Princess Polly clothing haul, then police body cam footage of a shooting. Devastated by the whiplash of content; she cried, dissociated for a bit and willingly entered the digital dystopia once more.

I Watched Someone Die on TikTok didactically yet darkly yet delicately dissects what happens when we’re not able to be left to our own devices. Exploring the history, addiction and exploitation of our current digital desires and fears. Connecting the personal to the global.
