A Rocking Interview for iQuest

Company name: Rock Opera Company ,University of Melbourne
Show/artwork: iQuest: the musical
Dates: 26/8 9pm, 27/8 3pm & 6:30pm



What was your initial motivation for joining the Mudfest Kaliedoscope in 2011?
When we first started brainstorming for the show, we went straight to the world of internet and gaming, because in this day and age, technology is everywhere. (It's hard not to find EVERYONE staring at their little screens on PT these days) It influences us so much that sometimes we feel that little bits of humanity is slipping away, that's why when we developed the show more we added more warmth to the storyline. Hopefully people are reminded that there is still a world around us, there are still people around us that we should love and care about.

Is this your first mudfest show?
Y. And we would like to use Muddyleaks to thank MUDFEST for giving us this amazing opportunity and UHT for helping us out in preparation for the show.

Are there future plans for this show?
We'll see :P

Who is involved?
ROC 'UM? We are one!Seeing these amazing people putting this amazing thing
together has been simply mind-blowing.

How do you think audiences will react?
Hopefully people would singalong and find bits of their childhood from iQuest.
