The Burnt City is an immersive, promenade piece of site-specific theatre in Woolwich, London. Created by Punchdrunk, first previews began on March 22nd 2022.
“As the smoke soars on wings to heaven, so sinks our city.”
In the smouldering promise of the fall of Troy, a mythical world of Gods and mortals rises from the ashes.
As Greece teeters on the brink of victory, the neon backstreets of Downtown Troy give way to a sprawling labyrinth hiding secrets even the prophecies could not foretell.
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.
