The Escape Act: A Holocaust Memoir
£10.00
Witness an extraordinary one-woman historical circus-theatre show based on the incredible life of Irene Danner, a Jewish acrobat who witnessed the rise of the Nazi Party as a teenager and survived the Holocaust by hiding and performing at the German Althoff Circus. In this feat of dynamic physical storytelling, using puppetry, acrobatics and rare archival footage, New York performer Stav Meishar, a grandchild of Holocaust survivors, charts Irene’s life from youth to epic escape and the budding of a new circus family.
