Wonder.land
- Concept
Wonder.land was a musical directed by Rufus Norris with music by Damon Albarn and book and lyrics by Moira Buffini.
Inspired by Lewis Carroll’s iconic Alice in Wonderland, the musical is set in the whimsical virtual world of wonder.land into which our troubled heroine Aly escapes and explores through her online avatar, Alice.
Wonder.land premiered at the Manchester International Festival before transferring to the National Theatre in 2015.
My Involvement
As an intern at 59 Productions, I was briefly involved with this project in the very early stages, helping to explore different potential looks for the characters’ online avatars and other features of the virtual world of wonder.land.
