The Black Diamond

London
2011

Superbly brilliant

It's Nice That

Following the success of The Night Chauffeur, Punchdrunk was commissioned to devise another immersive performance for a larger audience, which lasted for a longer period of time.

The result was The Black Diamond, a fusion of live cinema and theatre. The show ran for six weeks and played to an audience of 3,000 who registered on-line for free tickets.

The episodic and complex narrative played over several site-specific locations around east London. The performance garnered numerous communication awards.
