This is about charisma: what it is, who has it and if it is possible to learn it. Inspired by the self-help manual, The Charisma Effect by Andrew Leigh, this performance sees two artists attempt to win round an audience by being as charasmatic as possible. Through examining a poster boy for charisma, John F. Kennedy, Cape Theatre re-enact fragments of their idol's life, through their own imagination, to understand the desire for perfection. How do you make a nation fall in love with you, and how do you make an audience feel the same way?
