I See You Watching, a provocative, darkly playful exploration of control, performance and rebellion. On a bare stage, a woman (Kylie Westerbeck) fights for survival while navigating the relentless demands of a master of ceremonies (David Calvitto) who dictates her worth. Forced to perform while trapped in the male gaze, she must unravel the expectations that bind her and find a way to escape – or revolt. This haunting, rigorous and sometimes brutal theatre show exposes the invisible cages confining women in today's world and questions whether true freedom lies in victory, surrender or something else.
