Clones, OnlyFans and the real you: The new play leaning into the unexpected
The new play 'The Supposed To Be' explores themes of identity and cultural duality through the lens of a Sri Lankan Tamil executive and her clone. It challenges the notion of authentic identity by presenting a spectrum of personal interests beyond cultural ties. The production, part of the Rising Festival, uses a sci-fi backdrop to highlight the complexities of migrant experiences.
- ▪The play features a corporate executive and her clone, who embodies a fantasy lifestyle as an actor and OnlyFans star.
- ▪It questions the idea that authentic identity is solely tied to cultural or ancestral connections.
- ▪The production aims to represent stories from underrepresented communities in Australia.
