Immersive Theater and Amsterdam Dance Event

How XTC was built

FOUR BENT CORNERS - Since 2010

Vicu Bazan Szelest and Zena Wood join us to talk about their immersive theatre live club show XTC, which premiered at Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) 2025, the world’s largest electronic music festival.
Now touring, XTC heads next to The Boring Festival 2026 in Haarlem, Netherlands. In this episode, Vicu and Zena break down the creative, technical, and budgetary challenges they had to overcome to bring the show to life on a tight timeline.
They also share what it is really like attending ADE as a participant, offer networking insights, and explain the distinct roles each of them played in shaping the project. This episode is for anyone interested in ADE, immersive theatre, live shows, music culture, creative collaboration, and navigating large-scale festivals.
