“Opera Riparata (Fixed Opera) is a recomposition of 40 famous Operas, following the contemporary framework of digital remix (cutting, breaking down, juxtaposing and overlapping). The Fixed Opera implies two different parts: studio session and live performance. In the first step, Okapiworks on parallel paths mashing up the 40 Operas in short portions of 1’11″ time length each. The strictness of the writing mode is controverted in the latter part, when these ration and individual means meet, crash and melt, following the logic and the spontaneity of contemporary improv modules.”
