Seven methods of killing kylie jenner

Théâtre du Centaure

Cleo has holed up in her bedroom to write her dissertation on structural racism, when a tweet triggers her: ‘At 21, Kylie Jenner becomes the youngest self-made billionaire ever’. Kylie Jenner lives in a world of inherited money and white privilege. What’s self-made about that? In a short space of time, Cleo fires off a series of anonymous tweets under the hashtag #kyliejennerfidead. to express her frustration about how white women appropriate and benefit from black culture and stereotypes in a hard-hitting and unequivocal way. In her witty, in-yer-face, fast-paced, darkly comical drama, Jasmine Lee-Jones picks up on current debates about Black identity, beauty ideals, cultural appropriation, racism, queerness, and wokism, unfolding across the analogue and digital worlds of young people. She frames a legitimate argument concerning the ownership of Black female bodies, both online and IRL, within the language of hate speech, provocatively and intelligently complexifying the debate over what can and cannot be said, and by whom.
