I took in this fluidness around me and decided to create art that reflected it. I began imagining art that not only existed to disappear, but art that never existed in the tangible world at all. I know what you are thinking. But stop and think of the possibilities.

In this irreverent new genre-bending piece, theatre makers Christopher Chen and Lee Sunday Evans apply their playful imaginations to the work of a Chinese dissident artist. Their hybrid work invites you to navigate a labyrinthine trail between truth and perception, authority and authenticity, illusionary art and real jeopardy.

Reviews of Caught: 

A New York Times Critic’s Pick

“Christopher Chen’s intricately constructed, unrelentingly destabilizing puzzle of a play … [is] directed with exquisite precision by Lee Sunday Evans, and slyly designed every step of the way.”
–The New York Times

“Clearly, Christopher Chen’s comedy-drama… is having its own insidious effect on me, days after I saw it. The whole thing was pretty great.”
–Huffington Post

“…a smart, self-assured meditation on the politics of truth, in art and in life.”
–The Village VOICE

“…the physical production (typically for the Play Company) is beautifully realized…The execution couldn’t be better: Evans and her team clearly found the Inception-esque challenge of the text exciting.”
–Time Out
