I want to make a show that tries to illuminate the space that exists between sincerity and irony, or between apparent honesty and the techniques used to convey or convince people about the truth of what they are being told. I want to look at the romanticism of the direct address, the idea that presenting something with no frills is an effort to not present it at all, but to allow it to be seen. Or the sensation of seeing something that feels true precisely because it is in the most manufactured of environments.
