THE SILICONE DIARIES
WRITTEN BY NINA ARSENAULT
DIRECTED BY BRENDAN HEALY
VENUE: ACADEMIC HALL – UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA
LENGTH: 110 MINUTES

The Silicone Diaries is Nina Arsenault’s tour de force account of her transition from an awkward man into a jaw dropping silicone bombshell, a process that spanned eight years, sixty surgical procedures and a lifetime of preparation.
Blurring the lines between fake and real and playing with the tension between society’s presumed desire for authenticity and its demonstrated preference for the artificial, The Silicone Diaries provides us with a peek into the personal obsessions of those who are driven to transform their bodies. At the same time, it is a frank exploration of the contradictions associated with the quest for beauty.
