The interactive story is accessed within the viewers own personal device with the option of entering the exhibit room during showing periods to watch the writer/performer create a visual art piece based on the response being submitted by audience through their devices. Some find the content troubling and would prefer to interact with it outside of the room. This is perfectly okay. It is available to access remotely on-demand as well. The inside of the exhibition room will be dim with the limited light coming from small projections of art in progress videos. There will be soft instrumental music playing in the background. Headphones for those who have trouble reading while hearing distractions are encouraged.

This was a great experience. We have been conditioned to accept problematic content in media without questioning it. This piece will force you to ask yourself those questions.

I attended the first showing of TRIGGER WARNING and thought it was an insightful and powerful experience. The choose your own adventure style paired with the harrowing narrative made it a must see part of the fringe. Highly recommend!
