#PULSE14 – American Boy

No performance info available

A witty, personal take on the influence of movies and how we form our identity.

Presented by Hetain Patel.

Following the success of his performance works TEN and Be Like Water, visual artist Hetain Patel takes once again to the stage, this time as a solo performer, with a personal and humorous take on identity shape-shifting.

Inspired by American movie culture and homegrown T.V programmes, Hetain looks at the multiple identities that we all inhabit in our day-to-day lives.

Through a seamless synthesis of vocal and physical imitations galore, he revisits character impressions from his playground days: see Agent Smith from the Matrix arguing with Sir David Attenborough whilst Eddie Murphy dances alongside Superman.
Hetain is a Sadler’s Wells New Wave Associate
