A darkly comic tale of sexual power – I See You Watching is a provocative and darkly playful exploration of power, 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.
