Persephone
Three years ago, the city fell silent.
For one weekend only, its gates open once more.
To mark the third anniversary of the final performances of The Burnt City, Punchdrunk welcomes you back to an exclusive screening of Persephone, a film of the original production as it was performed.
Return to the labyrinth through Persephone’s eyes. As she journeys between Troy and Mycenae, every encounter reveals another thread of The Burnt City, binding together a story of memory, longing and fate.
Whether you once wandered its streets or are discovering it for the first time, this is a rare opportunity to witness the story at the heart of The Burnt City, and step into the underworld one final time.
