Sinopsis

Jerk is an imaginary reconstruction — strange, poetic and sombre — of the true story of the crimes perpetrated by American serial killer Dean Corll who, with the help of two teenagers, killed more than twenty boys in the mid-70s. Jerk is a solo for a puppeteer that unabashedly mingles sexuality and violence using hand puppets for all the roles.
