InterNetWork is a theatre performance on knottiness of human communication in time which offers people enormous quantity of information and sees people exchanging mostly  facts and figures, but much less the inner states. All that results in different fears and leads to alienation. Fear of being unable to follow contemporary trends, fear of losing the race, possibilities of disappearing in one's own alienation and agressive reactions in many forms and on many levels become more frequent through the power of the white, organized chaos.

1996 saw the premiere of The  Rubikon Theatre performance Zero.. Six years later in 2002 theatre performance Zero – the second fractal was created by The Rubikon Theatre in collaboration with the members of the ballet department of the Croatian National Theatre from Rijeka. During the process of creation on the second fractal the same dramaturgical methods and directorial actions as six years earlier were used with the aim to research the extent to what the materials created by the actors/dancers/performers of the second fractal would be different from the original Zero. In the end similar materials were created. Such a result indicates the possibility of applying the theory of chaos when practising and understanding theatre, but also puts into question phenomenon of collective staging.

Today, more the ten years after, The Rubikon Theatre Student Laboratory works on the theatre performance InterNetWork – the second fractal with the aim to verify the hypothesis of the fractal dramaturgy influence on the final outcome of the performance.
