Description

Were all starring in the movie of our life. Selfie after selfie, post after post. Its exhausting. So take a break. Bask in the glow of the big screen as someone else has a go. See the heroine all dewy-eyed as the camera zooms in. And in. And in. Get set for a live-filmed Lynchian ride through the anxieties of an unsettlingly ordinary womans existence. An epic journey to everywhere and nowhere, through a labyrinth of click-bait and pop clich, via an infinite stream of frozen pouts and desperate smiles. Razor sharp innovators Made In China return following the brilliantly subversive Double Double Act(Time Out) and murderously entertaining Tonight Im Gonna Be The New Me(The Guardian). A tragicomic and hypnotic explosion of film, movement and words,Super Duper Close Upasks what a girl is to do when everything is virtual, and virtually everything is for sale. Are you ready for your close-up
