Abstract | Drawing implicitly on ideas first presented in (Syn)aesthetics (Machon 2011) and Immersive Theatres (Machon 2013), this chapter outlines the aesthetics of immersive theatres in general terms in order to demonstrate how these are at work in Punchdrunk’s The Drowned Man: A Hollywood Fable (2013-2014). In addressing the interdisciplinary inheritance of immersive practice alongside the particular influences that underpin Punchdrunk’s work, the analysis considers how the immersive qualities of this production are augmented by cinematic influences and film aesthetics. In so doing it offers an alternative perspective on the idea of the live - and ‘living’ - cinematic event. |
