Epiosde 269: Edinurgh Festival Series - I See You Watching with Kylie Westerbeck

It’s the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2025 series Elaine chats with creator and performer Kylie Westerbeck about her new show I See You Watching which was devised by Melanie Stewart, Kylie Westerbeck and John Clancy. Directed by Melanie Stewart Text by John Clancy I See You Watching Gilded Balloon - Patter House Now - 24 AUG (NOT 11, 19 AUG) Time: 20:30 I See You Watching I See You Watching, a provocative, darkly playful exploration of 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.
