15 Minutes This Is Where We Try To Say Goodbye I Subject15 Minutes
Synopsis:
In contemporary times, the idea of what constitutes beauty is no longer left to individual perspective. Our ideas about physical allure are sanctioned by a mass market, which narrows down the number of physicalities permitted as attractive to an officially imposed tits and teeth image. Highway Diner's contribution to the Traverse's Cubed3 Mini Festival is a roar against this. Freely adapted from a novel by JG Ballard, The atrocity Exhibition, this piece tells the story of a young woman who discovers that her boyfriend has been dabbling in internet porn. Vulnerable, she receives an enigmatic telephone call summoning her to the surgery of two grotesque plastic surgeons who propose a succession of operations that will transform her body, and with it, her soul. This latter offer proves harder to fulfil, so with her body, the girl's identity is erased, and replaced by a reified image of mass culture.
