“Catfishing addict,

you’re a product of the system,

but have you ever considered

an addiction to wisdom?”

A musical, theatrical and satirical adaptation of The Catfish TV Show, in which the host exposes ‘Catfish’, those that disguise themselves as others online in order to find love. In a reality where spirits connect with other spirits through the human world, the host loses control of his show as a mischievous spirit seeks his help to create the perfect human form.

Produced under Xsist Media, a parody of a multi-national conglomerate, a Live Action Role Play was held to promote the event, in which participants would perform as set characters and have to ‘Catfish’ others in order to discover information about their assigned true love.

Four Stars from a journalist from The Student, and five stars from Plinth Magazine.
