Digital epilogue: Immersive theatre production lives on in online film

London – Premiere immersive theatre group Punchdrunk has collaborated with Dazed Digital to bring its most recent show, The Drowned Man, online with a film short.

The show – which takes audiences into the world of 1960s Hollywood – ended its run at the beginning of July, but now fans can continue living the story through the film, entitled Lila, made for Dazed Visionaries, the online magazine's commissioned film section. Just as The Drowned Man is an abstract rendering of a play, so Lila is abstract and non-linear, adding another layer of intrigue and mystery to the narrative. 

Those who attended the Punchdrunk show can carry on living the mystery through the digital film. It is a way to make an immersive Futuretainment experience last long after the final curtain has fallen.
