The Escape Artists is a movie about the voyage of Miri, an Israeli performance artist that joins her husband in a life with a Belgian traveling circus. Miri gives up a life of comfort and moves into an 8 square-meter caravan to live and work with Adrian. The movie tells a very delicate story of relationship, struggle and self-fulfillment in the magical world of the circus. The Ronaldo Circus is a six-generations-old circus from Belgium, run by the Ronaldo family that created a circus-theater combining the Comedia del Arte with the classical circus genre. The story follows the difficulties of living together as a couple, while working side by side. When Miri joins the circus she finds herself working mainly back stage, in the shadows. While under the spotlights, Adrian plays the famous Comedia del Arte character – the Capitano, she plays the character of a servant and functions the lights backstage. Her lack of self-fulfillment affects the couple and requires Miri to make an elementary choice – to stay with Adrian and the circus or return to Israel. The Escape Artists is a documentary about a sensitive and complex story of relationship, inspired by the theatrical world it explores.
