“Another step in the new direction that live theatre is taking”
Crikey
He Dreamed a Train is the semi-autobiographical story of a woman and her entrepreneurial brother as they face his premature death. After returning to the family’s home, the woman is taken into a world of bittersweet dreams and reminiscences. Here she must re-story her narratives of belonging, to reconcile relationships and create a new way forward.
He Dreamed a Train is staged in a realistic farmhouse, which is transformed by projection mapping into a dripping palette of memory and imaginings, guiding the woman towards the re-storying of her future, towards a new way of belonging.
