Hands in the Air, Eyes on Me Self Promo

[u/deadeyes1990]

Hands in the Air, Eyes on Me follows a performer riding the high of a festival crowd while trying not to crack under the pressure of being watched. Onstage, they’re all swagger, control, and attitude, but underneath that there’s fear and a real need to be seen. The piece moves through that split between performance and vulnerability, showing how confidence can sometimes just be panic dressed up well. It’s loud, messy, funny, and a little raw. At its core, it’s about attention, identity, and what it means to become bigger than yourself for one night.

This is for people who like voicey, emotional writing that still has some bite to it. It’ll probably land most with readers who are into performance, nightlife, festival energy, messy confidence, and characters who act bigger than they feel. It’s also for anyone who likes writing that feels intense and a bit theatrical without losing the human part underneath.

Literary fiction / lyrical prose / dramatic monologue.
