Follow a toy locomotive as it travels through sublime worlds created on stage and finally journeys its way through the entire audience. This skilled and delightfully profound parody of the human condition explores the whole wide circle of life and death, wisdom and ignorance, laughter and tears.

An interactive parable turning fantasy into reality and blurring the boundaries between observer and performer, “All Aboard” is based on Swiss actor Oskar’s 18 years as an itinerant artist waiting for trains to unknown destinations and going boarding them.

Transporting the public from passive viewer into dynamic accomplice, Oskar takes the audience on a poetic and hilarious voyage into the great unknown. “All Aboard” draws a sublimely comic parallel between the joy and despair of train journeys and life itself.

Oskar captivates his audience leading them to a world where life and comedy become one. Developed over 29 years as a solo act, in the clown duo Oskar & Strudel or in one of his group productions, his unique interactive comedy style, range of physical skills and vast experience allow him to adapt to the nature of any audience, anywhere.

Enthusiastic in promoting Taiwanese musicians, Hu founded the Yun-Hsiang Foundation and Yun-Hsiang International Music Festival in 2011.
