Founded in 2005, Burnt Out Punks are a collective of artists, technicians and producers who create intense spectacles of circus, music and fire for, if they get their way, extremely large audiences. While still in touch with their anarchic roots, lately the company has been looking for ways to consolidate and become financially more stable — which in part has meant dedicating time to writing more applications. In 2013 the company was awarded funding from the EU for TOQQORTUT, a six-country collaboration that culminated in the largest ever outdoor show in Nuuk, the capital of Greenland. Alongside their efforts in fundraising, the Punks have also been taking time to develop their brand and audience, including by moving into merchandising, but as ever find it difficult to balance the administrative and creative workloads.
