For this scene, I set up the audience to clap on command. First for a child seeking attention, performing for approval. They played along, laughing, indulging the game. But when the lights shifted, Sofia was still on all fours, but she wasn’t a child anymore. 

This was the shift I wanted to capture. That unsettling transition from childhood to adulthood, where the need for validation doesn’t disappear, it just takes on new forms. The audience, without realizing it, became part of that transformation, standing, clapping, until they suddenly questioned why.

​

The social response?

Some laughed uncomfortably, others hesitated, and then there were the grannies in the front row, standing in the middle of a sex scene before realizing what had just happened.
