The black and the white

MERCURIAL GEORGE takes us into the crazy world — and sometimes quite comical — of the Montreal performer, often described as a free electron, not without reason (…). An intriguing and marginal artist that will be interesting to follow in the future.”

Curiosities and oddities

Performing artist Dana Michel dares to create beyond the beaten track with a body that rejects virtuosity and gestures devoid of delicacy. Simply, by using objects in unusual ways, she transforms banality into something interesting, turning our attention towards seemingly futile things. She inhabits marginalized characters that question our understanding of what is normal. She presents a tribute to difference and non-conformity with an inventive and unconventional performance.”
