In The Art of Being Beauty-fool, Vidushi dives headfirst into a hilariously candid yet deeply vulnerable exploration of body image and radical self-acceptance. The performance is a raw, interactive conversation with her own body, inviting audiences to laugh at the absurdities of self-loathing while addressing the pressures of perfection so many have experienced. This piece marks her bold first step toward embracing her flaws and imperfections, setting the stage for an honest dialogue on self-love, beauty, and what it really means to be unapologetically human and embrace an 'Alternate Gaze.'
