Theatre-club experience
The show is set in a club environment with a live DJ, an ensemble cast, and a roaming camera that projects the story cinematically in real time.
XTC: The Electronic Musical keeps the feeling of nightlife at the heart and seamlessly blends professional musical theater with original music paying tribute to various electronic music genres.
Created by Vicu Bazan Szelest, Produced by Zena Wood.
The creative power duo developed the first electronic musical in Amsterdam which has been enjoyed by audiences in the theater, club and immersive scenes. The show has had sold out shows at ADE 2025 and the esteemed arts event Boring Festival Haarlem.
Vicu and Zena found it important to connect theatre goers with nightlife. In this way they bring something new to a theatre audience that also feels relatable to clubbers.
Their ITA debut marks the merge between spaces and audiences which Vicu and Zena sought and are excited to share.
