It Felt Like A Kiss is an olfactory-audiovisual promenade-style theatre production, first performed between 2nd and 19th July 2009 as part of the second Manchester International Festival, co-produced with the BBC. Themed on "how power really works in the world", it is a collaboration between film-maker Adam Curtis and the Punchdrunk theatre company, with original music composed by Damon Albarn and performed by the Kronos Quartet. The visitor is immersed in sets based on archive footage from Bagdad, 1963; New York, 1964; Moscow, 1959; in the Amygdala, 1959-69; and Kinshasa, 1960. The title is taken from The Crystals's 1962 song "He Hit Me (It Felt Like A Kiss)", written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King.
