About this show
A bullied eccentric suffering from past traumas creates a machine to ruthlessly survive and to create a masterful future. The one problem is... he believes he's a monster. Featuring a soundtrack almost entirely of villain (or connected to villains) songs, this show explores themes of bullying, classism, identity crisis, self-hate, defence mechanisms and the battle between reality and fiction.
