In June 2022 a crew of six dancers entered a remote location surrounded by the Finnish woods, to explore what it means to be a YouTuber. However, the experiment went horribly wrong: One of the dancers went missing and the game with reality turned into a true horror mystery. Now they enter the stage to record their last vlog in hopes of getting closure and of course: great content.
«The Youtuber» is an absurd and gripping (online and live) dance theatre performance that makes you enter a world where reality is content and shows what it takes to live the dream of every third 12–17-year-old: being a Youtuber.
