About the Program
Presented by grunt gallery and PuSh International Performing Arts Festival at VIVO Media Arts Centre, Jerk by director Gisèle Vienne featured actor Jonathan Capdevielle in a one-man performance based on Denis Cooper’s short story of the same name. Using glove puppets and ventriloquism, Jerk recounts and reenacts the real crimes of the 1970s Texan serial killer Dean Corll, who murdered at least 27 boys and young men.~root~>Director
