Who made Internet the Musical?

Internet The Musical is an online collaboration between artists who, during the 2020 pandemic, lived in isolation all over the world. A musical co-written and designed by an international team. They worked online, through different platforms and wrote scenes, music, developed characters, dance instructions, set designs and everything else imaginable. This international multidisciplinary team responded to an open call in 2020, that Questions Collective put online. This part of Internet the Musical we call The Online Process

AMAZING! What is the musical about? 

>The Internet itself.

In Summer 2021 Questions Collective & WORM presented the first offline presentation  of Internet The Musical, at O. Festival. This took place on August 26 2021.

In the summer of ‘22 we started with offline workshops in which participants worked on specific scenes or to-be-developed details of the world of ITM. We call this: The Offline Workshops

And now you can also work with us online, on this website. Enter the musical to contribute!
And hopefully in the future we will perform an offline show again.
