Target of God
Jacques Poulin-Denis is a dance artist renowned for undertaking projects that blur the boundaries between dance, music and theatre. His work is both humanistic and uncanny, putting forth the strength within the vulnerability of the characters he brings to life. Target of God is a raw solo piece that explores the human need to understand our reason for being, our path and our purpose. With a humorous twirl, the piece exposes the personal turmoil of an ingenuous and ill-fated antihero as he confides to the audience.
This performance is presented in our intimate backstage studio space.
