Burning City is an intimate theater performance, a festive concert, and a spontaneous jam session - all in one. The audience stands on stage with the performers throughout the entire show. Because we’re departing from a traditional theater setup, we’d like to provide all the information regarding the show’s accessibility.

Do you have any questions? Please don’t hesitate to contact a member of the info & tickets team.
