Theatre-club experience
An original immersive theatre-club experience where nightlife merges with music theatre and film. Set in a club environment with a live DJ, live actors, and a roaming camera that projects the story in real time.
XTC is a raw and honest reflection on the underground electronic music scene, excess, and the search for connection in the dark.
Produced by Zena Wood
Written by Vicu Bazan Szelest, produced by Zena Wood, the creative power duo developed the show which has been enjoyed by audiences in the theater, club and immersive show 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 present something relatable to a culture audience that kept the feeling of nightlife at the heart and could enter professional theater spaces simultaneously. Their ITA debut marks the merge between spaces and audiences which Vicu and Zena sought and are excited to share.
