At first, a seemingly silly exploration into childhood passions. And then, a deep dive into what it means to live in our hyper-recorded, overly monitored reality. Piece of Me frames around a young girl and her friends’ pop-star aspirations in the 90’s, but asks signficantly deeper questions about what we are giving up when we live our public lives.
Accompanied by an exceptionally interesting sound design, and some head bopping pop tunes, the play takes on some huge questions. I’m not convinced it answered all it set out to, but have to applaud the delightfully meta-theatrical exploration and play with form.
