Event description

In June 2023, the whole world stopped for five days when a manned submersible en route to the Titanic wreckage went missing and then imploded (rip fr). The media, masses, and memes moved on - but not Sophie.

Join Captain S. Smyth and resident Titan sub expert through her deep descent into hyperfixation, from casual curiosity to monotropic interest that threatens to consume every part of her life.

This is a multi-media existential comedy deep dive (literally) about legacy and human connection set inside a disaster of Titan(ic) proportions; an exploration of sea, sub, and self, and how sometimes, it takes getting lost at sea for you to find yourself.

Get in, babes, we’re going to the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean.
