Time travel to the ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ of 1974 with an immersive experience by Rematch
Arriving at SE16’s Dock X, the much anticipated second experience by Rematch will reimagine the legendary Muhammad Ali and George Foreman boxing match nearly 50 years later, supercharging imaginations as it features the untold stories of the Rumble in the Jungle.
Fusing theatre, sport and technology – and taking immersive experiences to a new height – Rumble in the Jungle Rematch launches on 14 September.
Audiences will be transported back to the epic Rumble and Zaire 74 festival with never-seen-before moments of history.
Playing on all five of the senses, Rumble in the Jungle will be brought to life by an incredible cast of actors, with live music, food and drink, which will create authentic smells and tastes of the time.
From Muhammad’s pre-match trash-talking to the step-by-step play-out of the fight, where his famous rope-a-dope was performed, Rumble in the Jungle will take audiences on a journey to discover The Greatest Sporting Event of the 20th Century.
The event will feature the sounds of the Zaire 74 music festival, which saw the biggest global acts in black music perform, including; James Brown, BB King, Bill Withers, Sister Sledge and a slew of Africa and Latin America’s best musicians.
Following a successful ‘Wimbledon Rematch 1980’ in 2019, the brand’s latest experience will be its longest experience to date, with tickets now on sale for September-October 2023.
