Footscray Community Arts: I Met An Angel Named Jacques
1 October @ 7:00 pm - 4 October @ 9:30 pm AEST

Set in a real world that is completely made up, I Met an Angel Named Jacques introduces us to L’or – a celebrated artist whose work is bold, unrelenting, and impossible to ignore. He’s at the top of his game, all eyes are on him, and under the public gaze he has it all together. But with fame comes scrutiny, and there’s no room for mistakes. Enter Jacques, an ambitious cultural critic with a sharp tongue and a mind that cuts through the noise.
A poetic, bruising dive into the ways we love, I Met An Angel Named Jacques is a tale about the ache for validation, facing your demons, and the dangerous comfort of familiar pain. Exploring the incessant human need for validation and the lengths we go to find it; it’s an electric love story that hates romance.
