The Burnt City gets a remix

Punchdrunk have released new photography of The Burnt City as the show enters its final eight weeks.

Following a record-breaking eighteen months in London, the final performance of Punchdrunk’s The Burnt City will be held on 24 September 2023.

Opening in March 2022, the production has sold over 200,000 tickets. By the time it closes, the show will be the longest running mask show that the company has presented in London. Over 600 people have worked on the show, making it the largest project in Punchdrunk’s history. The epic retelling of the end of the Trojan war, set between the neon-drenched backstreets of downtown Troy and the menacing but opulent shadow of Greece, is played out across two vast warehouse buildings. Part of the old Woolwich Arsenal, these buildings provide Punchdrunk with its first permanent home in London.

Punchdrunk also revealed that The Burnt City Remix is returning on Sunday 13 August. Descend into the neon backstreets of Troy and immerse yourself in re-mixed revelry, as The Burnt City is re-imagined with a selection of new music. This sonic world will turn on its axis another time, in real time, for performers and audience alike. After the show, party in Troy with special guest bands and DJs.

Punchdrunk is keen to keep pushing the boundaries of the company’s craft and make use of the unique space the buildings provide in different ways. News of future projects will follow later this year.

Tickets are on sale for the remaining performances of The Burnt City from www.theburntcity.com and performances will end on 24 September.
