Punchdrunk experiences defy easy categorisation. The stage has no edges. You decide what to experience, and what to carry home as an enduring memory.
Punchdrunk pioneered a form of theatre that rejected the passive obedience of traditional theatregoing.
Audiences wear masks, Venetian style, covering much of the face and masking the mouth. They are free to roam through productions, which are staged in disused or abandoned buildings.
The action of the play is deconstructed, often reordered and condensed with multiple scenes playing at once in different parts of a building. The space is brought to life with intricate set dressing, epic visual scenes, low atmospheric lighting and a filmic soundtrack. Audiences must make choices about where they go, the characters they follow and the rooms they find.
