1.
Circe 01:46
Come in with lust I treat your hunger sweet lies caress your heart wind, fire, ice and dust, around, spin, Dance like wolfs and lions, tamed you are mine your soul is my wine
2.
Penelope 02:30
day and night I weave the time of a life counted in tears since the hours, months and years when your shoulders disappeared only I know of this plight in my room I hold it tight for a woman in command cannot share a broken heart fear I do this tricks won’t last time is ticking all around I am tired all at once close my eyelids, Athena.
3.
Aphrodite 01:35
With a look of mine in your eyes, I can make you rise, reveal your desire. With a simple glance, I can make you dance, bare stick in my fire. You don't know me yet? You bet! I'm Aphrodite... The Almighty.
4.
Calypso 03:17
drink my black wine drink and say “oh, what a nymph” weaving with maids thinking why he stays I prefer the castaways and they prefer the waves the stars and their ways around I know if you still want to go i can teach them to you, as you stoop low promise me though that, at times, when you fuck her you ‘ll think of me and the smell of my hair one day, one day soon I ‘ll run into Athena and I ‘ll make her pay oh, what a funny thing to say I ‘m sun’s daughter, yet I am dark try to compete with that Latin or Ausones is his name whisper it to Penelope and then try to keep her sane
5.
Athena 01:55
Swallowed by my father's tongue assimilated in the name of a god alienated from my body and yet I was born armed and dressed, exiled stone of the parthenon. Oh Athena I am! Goddess with no love serpent woman, monster woman, virgin woman, warrior woman traitor of my mother's song, my sin will never be revealed. I shall spit my clotted blood and free myself from history. Oh Ahena I am.
6.
Eris 02:25
As for me, it suits me best to always put you to the test... The pain, the loathing and the hate, the jealousy and all the rest. As for me, no more, no less, that's what I love, I must confess... I yearn to eat into your fate, then watch you helpless in your mess.
7.
Sirens 02:27
Here, there are no thoughts, no path to choose, no consequences to fear. There are no words to use, no truth, no fear. Come, freedom is here. Untie your ropes, freedom is yours.

about

These are the songs that comprise the original music of the Hyper-Opera.

Hyper-Opera is a website-specific online performance, in the form of an opera. Essentially it is an online journey across the web. Hyper-Opera, like every other opera, has been created to tell a story. The story to be told is the story of the Iliad and the Odyssey from a female point of view. Different archetypical women characters are investigated, this time, set against the background of a digital theatrical setting.
