TRIUMPH. IT RUNS ON STEAM is an alluring, entertaining and thrilling mystical journey that pulls back the cosmetic curtain taking you through the dimension of time and a parallel universe.

Featuring the science of Jules Verne, a true inventor, visionary and author of "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea," H.G. Wells, an English author, known for "The Time Machine," and Nikola Tesla, an important contributor to the birth of commercial electricity and best known for his many revolutionary developments in the field of electromagnetism, Triumph is steeped in a sub-genre of science fiction and alternative history.

Enhanced by a chilling original music score, steamy sensual dance and the magical illusions of Larry Fischer and Rafael Palacios, this is a unique production integrated in the sci-fi fantasy genre.
