What's Happening?
Danny Anchondo is bringing back his stage show 'Selfie-Conscious' as part of The Elevator Project at the Wyly Studio Theatre. The show, which runs from January 9 to January 11, features Anchondo's stage persona,
Mr. PIXIE, as the main character. 'Selfie-Conscious' is a satirical and interactive performance that critiques the influence of social media on personal identity and the creation of online personas. Anchondo uses his alter ego to explore how individuals present themselves on social media platforms, highlighting the contrast between digital and real-life identities.
Why It's Important?
The revival of 'Selfie-Conscious' is significant as it addresses the pervasive impact of social media on personal identity and societal norms. By using satire and interactivity, Anchondo's show encourages audiences to reflect on their own online behaviors and the authenticity of digital personas. This performance is particularly relevant in today's digital age, where social media plays a crucial role in shaping public perception and personal relationships. The show also contributes to ongoing discussions about the ethical implications of social media and the pressures it places on individuals to curate idealized versions of themselves.
