Video Musics I (2008)

Video Musics I is a twenty-minute multimedia video opera based on Hungarian mythology and folk tales. It consists of six individual video/songs, each offering its own compact narrative while interlocking to form a larger whole. Video Musics I is a mystical allegory that draws parallels to our own times.

This work is the first in a series of animated video operas that re-imagine myths and folklore through modern techniques.  During screenings, the film is accompanied by live musical performance. The live music mirrors the action exactly, and the animated characters' mouths are perfectly in sync with the sung lyrics.
