DAZED DIGITAL: Punchdrunk, "Lila" from The Drowned Man

From Dazed Digital:

Our first theatre Visionaries to date are Punchdrunk. Since their formation in 2000, they have changed the face of live arts, offering deconstructed narratives and extreme atmospheres with their innovative concept of radical enviromental immersion, staging their experiences in train tunnels, decommissioned pharmaceutical headquarters and, of course, warehouses. Their latest production sees a central London sorting office transformed into a vast, 1960s movie studio complex for The Drowned Man , an orchestrally ambitious retelling of Woyzeck transposed into the darkest edges of Golden Age Hollywood. For the ending of the season, Punchdrunk have used their Visionary slot to add a further layer of mystery to their narrative with the telling of Lila's story. Click play and get dragged into their world.
