Theatre that feels like a night out.
ADE Arts & Culture 2025 sold out show

An original immersive theatre club experience that blends nightlife, musical theatre and film. Set inside a club environment with a live DJ, live actors and a roaming camera further projecting the storyline. XTC is a raw, honest reflection on the underground electronic music scene, excess and the search for connection in the dark. Because ecstasy is not just a pill, it’s a decision.

Reviews

“The narrative itself was deeply relatable, something the audience clearly  felt judging by their reactions. The live video feed was a brilliant  choice because it brought every emotion and shift in the characters.

After Party (2025)

Clara, a sober young woman stuck in an intense morning afterparty at her own apartment. While her friends are diving into drugs, alcohol, and chaos, Clara feels completely disconnected from the scene and from them. When a strange purple powder shows up, the atmosphere gets darker and heavier. Trying to escape, Clara steps outside for air, where a meaningful conversation gives her a glimpse of something real. But as the party spirals,a sudden scream pulls her back inside, forcing her to face the dangerous consequences of a night gone too far.
