Mamoru Iriguchi

PAINKILLERS delves into physical and emotional pain through magic tricks and romantic memories. Mamoru, a magician's assistant who enjoys her large knitted body, is at the mercy of knives, saws and guns, on and off stage. 'So much wily humour and visual wit. An incarnation of what is raw, visceral and unprotected about the selves we harbour behind clothes, relationships, even the names we assume' (Mary Brennan, Herald). 'Plenty offbeat charm as (s)he(!) treats a booty load of themes... showbiz magic/gender metamorphosis/penetration/death' (Donald Hutera). Award-winning performance maker returns to Summerhall with his acclaimed show.
