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.
As a technical production manager's assistant at Fallow Cross for several years, I transitioned to the LX team for 'The Burnt City' to help assemble the show and further my lighting expertise.
