Cam Baby

@ COLLABORACTION

1579 N Milwaukee Ave, Ste 336, Chicago, IL 60622

Opening Friday, February 23rd, from 7:30PM - 9PM

On view through Sunday, March 4th

Clara’s never really had a boyfriend before – until Tim comes along. In her cozy Toronto bedroom, the millennials bond over their affinity for meme-worthy YouTube videos and shared anxieties. Little do they know that a plethora of anonymous strangers are tuning in to their every move online. Cam Baby is a rich, sensitive tale that explores voyeurism, privacy, and the complexity of relationships in the digital era.

Chimera Ensemble is proud to present Cam Baby, written by Jessica Moss and directed by Jesse Roth. This unsettling comedy provides a humanizing look at technology, begging the question: what does it mean to truly know someone in an age of social media, surveillance, and self-exposure?
