“Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine”
Our good friends at Future Cinema, who we’re mainly jealous of…but in an impressed way, have announced their next project and tickets go on sale today at 1pm and you’re going to want to pick one up. Never afraid to create a new world every time, Future Cinema, the creators of Secret Cinema, return to the Troxy for a Valentine’s Day special, bringing to life the enduring tale of love, exile and adventure, the iconic romance – CASABLANCA.
It is 1941 and the Second World War is raging. The Germans have taken Paris and occupied France. Casablanca is one of the last free cities. The city is a melting pot of cultures, stories and sights. People are desperate to flee a tumultuous Europe and are looking to get safe passage across the Atlantic to the Americas. Amidst the turmoil and the frenzy Ricks Café Americain is a haven for refugees trying to purchase illicit papers and flee the fast approaching war. On a dark night, amongst the chaos a world-weary, Rick Blaine meets his one time love…
Future Cinema invites audiences to step inside the world of Casablanca as the Troxy is transformed into the most exclusive night-spot in town and join Rick and Ilsa on this whirlwind of mystery, romance and espionage. Gather around Sam’s Piano and join in the chorus of the Marseillaise, dance to Benoit Viellefon and his Orchestra, dine at the Blue Parrot Café with food by Moro, search for the secret bars and discover the secret bands, explore the vivid and wild Casablanca and re-live the story as never before.
We can’t wait to see what they have planned, the promised re-creation sounds amazing and we can assure you, they’ll put everything they’ve got into this to make it a stunning event.
