STOP¡
GO-ON Productions/Nadine Thouin
Internationally acclaimed for her boldness and creativity, Montrealer Nadine Thouin returns to Shanghai with Stop¡a semi-autobiographical account of her 26 year trail-blazing career. In this piece, Thouin's body is hard-wired to some invisible but potent power source. Audiences get a chance to zoom closer to her throbbing heart through a camera lens that stares into her eyes, slides down her throat, feels her guts. Thouin is truly something to behold.
