Illuminated - Target Girls
“There are so many things you can’t see coming. You can’t see death. You can’t see Mount Vesuvius erupting. The carpet could be pulled out from under you at any second. But I’ll see a knife coming if it’s going to hit me.”
Target Girls are the female performers in “impalement arts'', where knives, arrows and even bullets are propelled at humans. Prepare for a full body immersion in this extreme profession, as we pull back the curtain on the hidden world behind the target girl’s silent, singular image.
Your ringleader for this event is world-famous target Ula The Painproof Rubbergirl!
Also starring!! Yana Hanson, Annabelle Holland and Amanda Jane ...
With a special guest appearance from The Great Throwdini!
