Performance :: Taking its title for British Rail’s own officious name for the space, which has not been used in more than 30 years, Tunnel 228 involves eight performers posing as a track cleaning crew and interacting with theatregoers, who are admitted, and issued with protective face masks, at timed intervals between 3pm and 10pm daily. The Tunnel 228 spectacle is inspired by Fritz Lang’s 1927 silent science fiction film Metropolis. In addition to the Punchdrunk performance, there are a series of visual art installations by contemporary artists including Anthony Micallef, Doug Foster, Paul Fryer and Ben Tyers. The event is produced by Hamish Jenkinson.
