Kinlaw Fall Risk

Nearly a century after Houdini famously escaped from a straitjacket while suspended from a crane in Times Square, artist Kinlaw returns to the square with a different proposition: not escape but endurance.

Times Square Arts presents the New York City premiere of FALL RISK, a one-night-only performance in which Kinlaw will be suspended more than 150 feet above Duffy Square — her body and voice meeting the force of 40,000 pounds of aluminum and steel.

📍 Duffy Square, Broadway Place between 46th & 47th Sts

Originally commissioned by Art Omi, FALL RISK draws from Kinlaw’s experience navigating the insurance and financial systems that determine access to care for aging and disabled parents — the piece is restaged, in one of the world’s most iconic public spaces.
