Jet of Blood is a journey through a fractured dreamscape exploring identity and perception. It presents the edge on which women perform, caught between the male gaze and their own identity.

Travel through disconnected scenes assembled using surrealist techniques such collage and juxtaposition to connect directly to the subconscious.

This is the first immersive staging of Antonin Artaud’s infamous surrealist play from 1925 that embraces Artaud’s direction to “ unforgettably root within us the ideas of perpetual conflict, a spasm in which life is continually lacerated, in which everything in creation rises up and asserts itself against our appointed rank.”
