In his performance, Cristian explores the invisible energy of pleasing. Not only as a personal struggle, but also as a collective pitfall. What do we lose if we strive to be liked at all costs?
In a remarkably funny, original, and sometimes absurd way, Christian reveals how the need for approval affects our relationships, blurs boundaries, and strains our moral compass. With raw emotion and sharp humor, he reveals the emotion hidden behind "being nice."
Pleaser is a performance that will stay with the audience for a long time. The performance invites the audience to experience both tension and release with the creator, seeking honesty, presence, and the courage to simply be yourself.
