'THE ESCAPE ARTIST' traces the experience of a performer who has a catastrophic trapeze accident. While stranded on a gurney with a broken neck in a hospital emergency room, he escapes and finds refuge in the images that flood his mind: the sinners and saints, prostitutes and gods that populate Caravaggio's paintings. The full production of 'The Escape Artist' will receive its premiere at PERFORMANCE SPACE 122, April 20-30.
