The Burnt City by PunchDrunk (until 24 Sep)

Gods And Mortals Rise For A Party At The End Of The World. The Burnt City is the latest production by award-winning company Punchdrunk (Sleep No More), who make genre-defying experiences for audiences around the world. Blending classic texts, contemporary dance, physical performance and award-winning design installations, their work ranges from projects that use new technologies to large-scale site specific performances. Set across two warehouses, The Burnt City is inspired by the events surrounding the fall of Troy. Inside youll discover a complete sensory world that is yours to explore at will, while the action unfolds around you. Move between the haunting palace of Greece to the pulsating neon back streets of down town Troy giving way to a sprawling labyrinth hiding secrets even the prophecies could not foretell. Follow strangers who emerge from the shadows and seek out tales hiding in the deepest parts of the city. Or simply sit and soak up the atmosphere. In this colossal playground, the furies watch on as mortals play out their fate. And as night falls, the city comes alive. One last time.................................. THE EXPERIENCE: You will explore a complete sensory world at your own pace, experiencing scenes in a non-linear way as the story unfolds around you. The performance lasts up to three hours and there are six entry times. Early slots are recommended for those who want the maximum amount of time to explore. Please note, you will be required to wear a Punchdrunk mask. You will be on your feet and it can be difficult to remain with your companions. You may be invited to take a path exclusively open to you. To get the most out of the performance we recommend you go it alone, although it will always be your choice. Cameras and mobile devices are not allowed anywhere except for the bar and will be bagged on arrival. Photography or filming is not permitted.
