The great actor and clown Bill Irwin inspired this poster. A MacArthur Genius Grant winner, Irwin is perhaps best known for his vaudeville-style stage acts. In one such performance, he uses a group of video monitors to display footage of himself perfectly choreographed to create the illusion that he’d become trapped inside the televisions. His character’s disorientation and panic are made more hilarious and heart-wrenching by the fact that it's all done without dialogue. Brilliant mime with video props; like all great pros, Irwin makes it look easy.
