Work Overview
Set inside a reality TV show, flamboyant rivals compete to succeed the biggest pop icon cult superstar: M.TH.R. We meet the final four contestants: Angelina, Aurora, Desmond and Nova as each make their definitive appeal to the Kindercorps (M.TH.R's loyal fanbase) to win the popular vote. This is darkly comic camp Eurovision meets Opera in a high stakes showdown complete with backstage admissions which challenge ideas of truth and identity...who will be the last diva standing?
