Life lately… so many cool auditions for comedy, drama and horror 🎬🎭🤩

Trailer of directorial debut “After Party”, a film that I wrote about my experiences in the nightlife.
Electronic music is a part of my identity so as acting and storytelling is, so making this film and composing the music helped me translate all the feelings I have about partying and substance use.

Talking about how I came up with the idea of writing a musical with electronic music @xtc.electronicmusical , my background in musicals and techno and the rejections a creator faces. How rejection made me take a different road. Going into film, creating my debut short film that ended up lighting the fire of trusting and believing in myself and my creations. I applied with my project to a festival once again and this time… it was accepted at ADE and we made it happen!
Thanks @fourbentcorners for the space and @spaceweathergirltv for the lovely chat!

🎭🎶 Immersive theatre meets club culture.

Vicu Bazan Szelest and Zena Wood join The Corner to talk about XTC, their immersive live theatre club show that premiered at Amsterdam Dance Event 2025.

Now touring, XTC heads next to The Boring Festival 2026 in Haarlem.

We dive into how the show came together under tight timelines and real budget constraints, what it’s actually like to experience ADE as a creator (not just an attendee), and how producer and director roles shaped the final experience.

If you’re curious about immersive shows, live performance, creative collaboration, or navigating large-scale festivals, this episode is for you.
