This is just amazing--an underground art exhibition performance piece in every sense of the world. The Old Vic Theatre in London, of which Kevin Spacey is the director, has worked with an experimental theatre group to create Tunnel 228, which is staged in real tunnels underneath London’s Waterloo Station and inspired, of course, by the classic film 'Metropolis.'
Tunnel 228 is set to run for 15 days starting tomorrow and promises “sensory journey through art-installations, sculpture, live performance, and vaults of mysterious curiosities.” Tickets are free, but to book your time slot you have to figure out how to get the tickets.
