6m 34s
The fashion film ‘Dramaturgy’ forecasts the ways we could outperform ourselves within Web 3.0 and lose touch with our ‘real’ selves, which we had before shifting daily life all online and being behind a VR headset 12+ hours per day, and illustrates the effect of performing on social media: young adults suffer from depression and anxiety in ‘real’ life while showcasing a perfect cheerful version(s) of themselves online.

We follow protagonist Roxy who is dealing with online & offline self-destruction due to their loss with their real-life self.
