The
BURNT OUT PUNKS
Burnt Out Punks
Burnt Out Punks is a diverse group of passionate and crazy circus artists, technicians and producers.
Their roles overlap and their love for entertaining and making the world a better place joins them together
in an international touring circus company. They travel with their own post-apocalyptic universe. A world
consisting of a Scania bus from 1962 filled with freaks, safety containers with explosives, tons of props,
ropes, lights, sound system, scenography and 30 meters of aerial truss. Together with a minivan and a
custom built six level trailer stage the Punks set it all on fire!
Since 2005 they have have played for more than 250,000 people, in 10 countries.
The Stockholm Syndrome
The Stockholm Syndrome is a hardcore, fire-driven, petrol-fuelled, anarchistic punk comedy circus show.
Whilst holding the audience hostage for 70 minutes they research the boundaries of normality and the psychological phenomenon wherein hostages express positive feelings towards their captors. The highlighted
topics are; the role of the artist vs authority and the fine line between being creative and being destructive.
Sometimes you have to burn things down in order to build them up again!
The unique mixture of theatre, circus and street art combined with a skilled display of fire arts and pyrotechnics creates a stunning visual experience for audiences of several thousands of people. Spectators of all
ages are amused and sometimes confused by close audience interaction, death defying stunts and a total
lack of common sense!
”Totally brilliant show, the best possible CLIMAX to the summer! Damn you are HOT HOT, TOTALLY HOT, HOT, HOT.
Thanks so much. A thriump!”
- Angus MacKechnie, Watch This Space Festival producer, London
“The Stockholm Syndrome is the best fire show I have ever
seen, the best circus performance I have ever seen and one
of the most interesting events that I got the opportunity to
take part in.”
- Jarosław Kowal, Journalist, GdanskTown.pl, Poland
“I thought I had seen everything – until I saw Burnt Out
Punks. It is a big show, spectacular in a exciting genre that
looks like nothing else out there. Hot, cool and breathtaking.
I haven´t recovered yet!! Love you guys!!”
- Hans Marklund, Swedens #1 showmaker, Sweden
