“Main character syndrome” is a social media/pop culture invention in which a person behaves as if they were the main character of a fictional story. The performance uses this notion to explore and challenge senses of selfhood and togetherness in times of pornographic narcissism. It blurs the lines between personal and fictional, experienced and represented, individual and relational. Mirrored dances and satirical laments compose a choreography of hope and delusion, psychological exhaustion and soothing intimacy.
