Julia tears apart everything that is politically correct with a disturbingly destructive fury. As she pieces together the fragments of her delirium, Julia discovers her truth. She navigates life by manipulating reality, inevitably dragging those around her into the darker shades of human nature.
Who is a narcissist? Can one become a narcissist? Are we inherently selfish, or do we cultivate narcissism as a means of survival? No one wants to be alone; everyone wants to feel special.
Julia is not necessarily a hero or a character we like, either on stage or in real life. Unlikeable, yet dangerously relatable.
Exposing humanity on stage, especially its worst parts, can serve as an emotional catharsis. We are inevitably drawn to discomfort; we want to understand it and find a way to ask ourselves if we’ve been there — and why we don’t want to go there. We question her integrity and examine her fractured sense of self, perhaps to make sense of our own.
How far can you push yourself to exist, to secure your special place in this world? This piece explores narcissism to its extreme, to the boundaries of a manipulated sense of reality.
