Judas Icarus Twists His Wrist
14m
When Vancouver based pro-wrestler Judas Icarus sustains a dramatic injury, he must go through the arduous process of recovery so he can continue his practice in staged combat. This small portrait of Judas Icarus is expressed not through a continuity of events, but through the human touch, forms of light, and repeated movements which surround his recovery. Featuring a cast of active PNW based pro wrestlers and musicians, Judas Icarus Twists His Wrist is inspired by the narratives found in pro-wrestling. Where the “real-life” documentary elements and fictionalized drama begin and end may blur, but one thing is for certain - the hits are real.
