GO Trains Will Host Live Shows Of A Commuting Fish This Week & It's Like A Fever Dream
Your morning commute just got more exciting.
Art in Transit: Luminato on the GO
Have you ever rode a GO Train into the city and wished you could enjoy some live theatre about a fish to pass the time?
Art in Transit: Luminato on the GO is gracing GO stations, trains and Union Station this June 2022 with their talents. If you're lucky, you may be able to catch a glimpse of an original play featuring a grumpy commuting fish on your next ride.
The live theatre performance is a part of the Luminato Festival and will be running from June 9 to June 17, with one day of performances on each GO line and three performances at GO Stations on the line per day, according to Metrolinx.
The performance follows a "grumpy, urban Fish, suited and caffeinated, as he begins his morning commute yearning for the water and feeling the call of the lake. With assistance from a cheery Train Conductor and chance encounters with musicians and dancers."

The fishy fun starts inside the GO Station. It then moves onto the train before the grand finale at Union Station. A welcoming musical committee will meet "Fish," who has been slowly transforming from a "fish-in-a-suit into his true aquatic self," and join him in his journey to Lake Ontario.
