Punchdrunk’s The Burnt City at One Cartridge Place, Woolwich

April 30, 2022 Last updated: April 30, 2022 9:19 pm By Ben Ross

Punchdrunk's The Burnt City (Photo by Julian Abrams. Performers: Vinicius Salles, Omagbitse Omagbemi, Andrea Carrucciu.

No seats here. Rather than watching a stage through a proscenium arch, in Punchdrunk’s The Burnt City, the audience wanders around some of the most elaborate sets I’ve ever seen, in a vast maze of rooms and corridors and cubbies. The action takes place all around me, and at every moment multiple storylines unfold. Characters move around the spaces, intersecting with others for a short time or a long time, then drifting apart again. It is like an elaborately staged ball. Elegantly costumed … [Read more...]

Circus in a Bottle by Trajectory Theatre | Review

March 31, 2022 Last updated: March 31, 2022 4:29 pm By Ben Ross

Circus in a Bottle by Trajectory Theatre

Many immersive shows these days are pushing the bounds of technology. Both the falling cost of what in the past would be ‘special effects’ equipment and the availability of new technologies in the augmented reality / mixed reality space, has widened access to devices which, when they work well, can add magic and awe to an experience. It’s clear that this is what Circus in a Bottle by Trajectory Theatre is aiming for, with its use of Magic Leap headsets to add characters into the world. But the … [Read more...]

Cirque du Soleil: LUZIA ‘A Waking Dream of Mexico’ – Royal Albert Hall

January 14, 2022 Last updated: January 14, 2022 4:19 pm By Ben Ross

Roue Cyr Trapeze

Cirque du Soleil’s Luzia is a joyful whirl through a psychedelic Mexico, which reminds us why live theatre is so special. Anyone who goes to the theatre will wonder at some point why they bother. No, not the audience - the performers. Why rehearse for weeks a play, opera, ballet, circus production, so that you can perform the same thing night after night? We have film these days, to capture the show and allow anyone and everyone to watch it whenever and wherever they want. And yet still … [Read more...]

Lost Origin is an immersive show with a mixed-reality twist

November 18, 2021 Last updated: November 18, 2021 3:03 pm By Ben Ross

Lost Origin

Lost Origin is an immersive show with a mixed-reality twist. It is a collaboration of immersive arts/museums' content creator Factory 42, The Almeida Theatre, Sky, the UK Research and Innovation Group, and the University of Exeter. Pre-pandemic, it began as an exploration of what the future of performance might be. After Covid hit, it pivoted to the form in which it can be seen today. Unfortunately, this complicated history and multi-party collaboration shows. As a technology demonstration it … [Read more...]

The Drop by Swamp Motel – Immersive Show

November 10, 2021 Last updated: November 11, 2021 5:28 pm By Ben Ross

The Drop is Swamp Motel - Immersive Show

The Drop is a fully participatory immersive show, which puts you and up to three friends into the centre of a thrilling ride. We arrive at our appointment with our wealth managers. I haven’t realised any of my group are fabulously rich, but you have to roll with the punches. We sign in at reception, and are directed to a meeting room on the third floor. ‘Elevators are just around the corner,’ we are told. Someone has left their briefcase in the lift… With a successful trilogy of online … [Read more...]

The Battersea Poltergeist – Live at Clapham Grand

November 1, 2021 Last updated: November 1, 2021 4:10 pm By Ben Ross

The Battersea Poltergeist

The Battersea Poltergeist - Live is an attempt to bring the hit podcast phenomenon to the stage. It’s an interesting experiment, but offered little for someone who hasn’t listened to the podcast (perhaps a quarter to a third of the audience by a show of hands) and thin additional pickings for anyone who has. Over lockdown, the podcast became a sleeper hit. Not just in the UK, but around the world, people were disappearing into their headphones, back to 1950s-1960s South London. The … [Read more...]

Echoes: An Immersive Horror Experience by COLAB Theatre

October 29, 2021 Last updated: October 29, 2021 3:58 pm By Ben Ross

Reverend Parks welcomes us to the abandoned Sanderson chocolate factory for Echoes: An Immersive Horror Experience by COLAB Theatre. She’s grateful we’re here, because we have a job to do. Unnatural events demand an exorcism. Inside, we’re assigned to tables, and soon we’re piecing together information from newspapers, police reports, local history, to understand the events which might have led to the place being haunted. We’re searching for clues, though we’re not sure exactly what we’re … [Read more...]
