SOCIAL SUICIDE

‘Social Suicide’ is a performance Connor wrote and directed exploring the ideas of toxic masculinity within lad culture, loosely based on the little known film Better Off Dead (1985) directed by Savage Steve Holland (worth a watch, click for the trailer). However, instead of focusing on it’s effect on the women around them, it focuses on the men keeping up this façade and how this can be damaging. The piece is a loose narrative, following the events of four lads having a social before eventually going out clubbing, one of which is a newcomer to the group desperately trying to fit in. So stop being a fucking pussy and join them for an evening of non stop dancing, rituals, and sexually aggressive jokes while trying to forget about all your real life problems.
