Biography.
URLAND has created physical and visual performances including "De Gabber Opera" (2010), "De Oktobertragödie" (2011), and "Kwartet, een Powerballad" (2013). They have performed in the Netherlands and abroad, in theatres and clubs like Lowlands. The group, currently all in their twenties, bases its performances on techno music and death metal themes, as well as by epic stories and world literature. 
Since 2013 the group is connected to Theater Rotterdam and receives structural funding from both the Dutch government and the city of Rotterdam. They are currently working on their first production for the ‘big stage’: "De Internet Trilogie", a series which questions the rise, expansion and limitless promise of the internet, with a comparison to the "Prometheia" of Aeschylus. It’s a new epic, or myth, about the creation of the internet.
