All-male immersive dance drama arrives in Shenzhen

Prepare to step into a different kind of night. A boundary-breaking, all-male international production is coming to Shenzhen, promising not just a performance, but a transformative, immersive journey of self-discovery. "DRUMK" is an avant-garde performance and a sensory journey where music, movement, and the subtle scent of wine fuse to create an intimate evening that blurs the line between audience and stage.

The story follows Mr. M, whose colorless, repetitive life has drained him of passion and vitality. One night, a mysterious street dancer appears, offering him a bottle labeled “DRUMK.” After a single sip, Mr. M is plunged into an otherworldly adventure — an inner voyage that reshapes him. When dawn breaks and reality returns, he is no longer the same. The bottle is never framed as an escape, but as a symbol of metamorphosis and rebirth.

The show overturns traditional theater conventions. From the moment you enter, you are not merely a spectator. The production's immersive format draws you into the performance space and the protagonist's transformation. Choreography and sound design are calibrated to awaken the body and senses, while the theatrical setting becomes a place of renewal — a night different enough to reset the spirit.
