Perfect Illusion is a story of many hidden, often silent battles with eating disorders like bulimia and anorexia—realities that often go unseen but affect many lives, sometimes unbeknownst to us. The performance delves deep into the complex anguish involved in pursuing an imagined physical “perfection,” portraying how obsession with food and control can take form and overwhelm. It reveals the distorted self-image of a body struggling, exhausted by an internal battle.

This brings light to the contrast between what someone with an eating disorder believes they see and how others truly see them. A single dancer on stage embodies this inner torment, giving voice to a silent drama stifled by guilt.

It is an intimate, unspoken journey through the pain and fragility of a “perfect” illusion.
