A site-specific piece telling concurrently, the stories of two escapologists in two distinct times and spaces. Understage, a prisoner attempts to escape a futuristic prison, seen through video projection. On-stage, the sanatorium where Houdini's wife recreates his final escape act. Above stage, the place to where the prisoner eventually escapes.
