Devour the divine. Be devoured.
Contemporary Aotearoan (NZ) dance artist Jag Popham presents god eater, a striking solo work that shifts between explosive physical intensity, stark stillness, and uncanny tenderness.

Driven by a primal, pulsing soundscape, god eater warps perceptions of the body and its limits as Jag seemingly bends between human, creature, and something less easily named. Encased in shell-like body armour that slowly mutates and sheds, the work traces an encounter with forces larger than the self; where distinctions between predator and prey, control and surrender, begin to collapse.

"The work asks for trust in slowness, silence, discomfort, and mystery allowing the experience to move through the body before the mind tries to explain it. The destabilisation of comprehension is such a key for us.” - Jag Popham.

Jag Popham is a company dancer for the internationally acclaimed Dancenorth. His practice draws on breath-work, martial arts and sound design. As a maker, Jag explores transformation, trance and ritual through immersive, highly physical performance.
