22 June - 27 August 2012
In an exhilarating participatory adventure, you are the sole audience member - a passenger who journeys through a maze of live scenes featuring over 200 performers. You will be catapulted into unimaginable situations before being returned to the outside world, breathless, invigorated and left wanting more. The intensity of the journey is heightened by the fact that you are riding solo throughout the whole performance, making for an unforgettable experience.
Artists Kate Bond and Morgan Lloyd originally created You Me Bum Bum Train in 2004 and the piece has been evolving ever since. Last year, they won the Oxford Samuel Beckett Theatre Trust Award which is an annual prize that aims to encourage a new generation of creative artists working on bold, innovative and challenging projects.
Warning: This is a very physically challenging interactive experience, all participants are advised to wear trousers and flat shoes; flip flops/sandals/stilettos are unsuitable. Some scenes may be unsuitable for sufferers of claustrophobia. Please advise Box Office of any access requirements.
