An elderly California man filed a lawsuit Wednesday against cast members of the Blue Man Group for allegedly pushing a camera into his esophagus during a show.
James Srodon's suit argues the Oct. 8, 2006, performance reached dangerous extremes at a Chicago theater when the performers forced an "esophagus cam" into his throat to project images of his insides for audience enjoyment, the Chicago Tribune reported Thursday.
Srodon "struggled to free himself and remove the 'esophagus cam' from his mouth but was forcibly restrained by the Blue Man actors," the suit said.
The suit also states the camera was covered in food, liquid, grime and paint when the actors inserted it into Srodon's mouth.
Srodon, who claimed the camera wounded his insides and damaged dental work, is seeking more than $50,000 for battery, negligence and negligent infliction of emotional distress, the newspaper said.
