In a crowded Tokyo train station, a sharply dressed man waits for the love of his life to arrive. At the same station, a woman walks dangerously close to the edge, up and down the platform. These two are closely observed under the watchful eye of a noodle-stand girl who decides to take their fates into her own hands. Based on personal histories and the blurred line between truth and imagination, Train is a story of love and loss in a place where lives and possibilities intersect.
Train is performed by Theatre Replacement Artistic Director Maiko Bae Yamamoto and her dad, Minoru Kofu Yamamoto. With Direction and Choreography by Sarah Chase and James Long, Lighting and Set Design by Jeff Harrison, Sound Design by Antoine Bedard, Costumes by Barbara Clayden, Visual Design by Cindy Mochizuki, Dramaturgy by Vicki Stroich and Stage Management by Danielle Fecko.
Train premiered in February 2008 as part of Alberta Theatre Projects’ Enbridge playRites Festival in Calgary. This run marks it’s BC premiere.
“Maiko Bae Yamamoto’s playfully surreal little drama…offers a very personal journey through some theatrical territory that from the start proves as fascinating as it is unfamiliar.”
“Yamamoto and her father bring special knowledge and meaning to their unique and radiant story.”
