CONSUMED

HOTA and Shock Therapy Arts present the premiere of their new work CONSUMED.

Equal parts hilarious, grotesque, and disturbingly human.

Inspired by the astonishing true story of a man who ate an entire aeroplane, CONSUMED is a story of a young aspiring content creator who pushes their body and sanity to the limit as the world watches, clicks, and demands more.

This outrageous new dark comedy takes a razor-sharp look at our obsession with influencers, consumerism, and the hidden cost of turning people into commodities.
