Trickster Theater was founded in 1998 by Papo Colo. An artist who has always worked in multiple
mediums, Colo has been involved in theater since 1991 when he founded the First World Theater
which presented Zygmunt and Stolen Kisses at The Cultural Space in 1992. In 1995 Colo produced
Imaginary Beings, combining a theatrical and visual art exhibition about invented characters from
Jorge Luis Borges’ text of the same name. In 1996 he produced Resonances, a play of simultane-
ous texts and overlapping narratives that took place on two stages concurrently and could be viewed
from different perspectives. Since moving to its current location in Hell’s Kitchen, the Trickster Theater
has produced a diverse range of shows such as Praying Project, Water Project, Wild Nights, Tropical
Area, Cannon Dialogues, Confessions of the Face, Somehow, and Still Life available as DVDs on the
Exit Art and Trickster Theater websites.
