TomYumSim Theatre / Trainwreck
🚨 Attention passengers! 🚨 Welcome aboard The Stupendous Resplendent Express - destination: unknown. In the highly probable event this train is hijacked by AI, you will be treated to emergency dance breaks, surprise exits and unsolicited karaoke from your fellow passengers. Exits may open where walls once stood. Please keep your limbs, secrets, and existential crises inside the Train(wreck) at all times.
Trainwreck is a delirious, ever-mutating satire where you and your co-passengers attempt to steer towards a dream destination. Your choices fuel the engine - while AI fiddles with the map, the throttle, and possibly reality itself.
Taking inspiration from Glasgow’s infamous “immersive” Willy Wonka knockoff and overhyped global fiasco ‘Fyre Festival’, this is immersive madness at full steam ahead.
Trainwreck invites audiences to laugh out loud while questioning the big promises of hype marketing, and the hazardous intersection of AI and creativity.
With support from Theatre Deli & Bold Elephant.
