The show promised to explore identity and that it would literally make us ‘reassess who you really are’. Perry alternately explained to us that identity was extremely important, whilst also claiming it wasn’t a replacement for personality. One idea that he clearly wanted the audience to take away though, was that our identity requires the buy in and support of other people.
