Assassinating Thomson is a distinctive theatre piece created and performed by Bruce Horak, a visually-impaired Canadian performer and founder of Monster Theatre. The show blends live painting with storytelling as Horak paints a portrait of the entire audience on stage while recounting the enigmatic death of Tom Thomson and weaving in his own life story. This is not a musical act; there are no discography credits or official singles tied to the performance. The piece has a rich touring history across Canada and has been featured at notable venues like Firehall Arts Centre and the National Arts Centre Fourth Stage, making it a standout stop for theatre enthusiasts looking for immersive storytelling and visually striking performances.
