The opera Planeta Deluxe features a gallery of five characters - five TikTok user accounts - who are also the alter egos of the creators of this opera. Director and author of the libretto, Greta Štiormer: "The action of the opera is based on the incessant flow of fast-remembering images and flawless images experienced by modern man, often becoming his own self-created social media character. five characters, five alter egos of the creators of the opera - these people who exist in the digital life of Planet Deluxe meet live on the stage of the opera". Composer Jūra Elena Šedytė: "Opera bel canto singing is combined with genres of alternative popular music. The choice of different musical genres involves the viewer in a flow of information that highlights different psychological pictures of the characters." Video artist Aistė Marija Stankevičiūtė: "Opera's video inspirations came from the visual codes, communication manners and behavioral fashions that dominate the TikTok platform. The image is created by combining animated, 3D aesthetics of computer games and live footage into rapidly changing compositions. Bringing these images from phone screens to the opera hall provides a space to step back, to "get out" of the flow of social networks for a moment and to look at it differently, perhaps through the eyes of one who watches us." Choreographer Denis Kolomyckis: "Social networks and interactions in an alternative reality move to the stage through an experimental synthesis of video, music and movement. Just like the search for points of contact, which changes the perception of communication, this opera aims to present the virtuality surrounding the heroes."

Creators on TikTok Opera:

The action of the opera is based on the incessant flow of fast-remembering images and impeccable images that modern man experiences, often becoming his own self-created social media character.

Operatic bel canto singing is combined with alternative popular music genres. The choice of different musical genres involves the viewer in a flow of information that highlights different psychological pictures of the characters.

The inspiration for the opera video came from the visual codes, communication manners, and behavioral fashions that dominate the TikTok platform. The image is created by combining animated, 3D aesthetics of computer games and live footage into rapidly changing compositions.

„Planeta Deluxe“ – tai šiuolaikinė opera, kurios siužetas grįstas internetinės programėlės „TikTok“ turiniu. Kūrinys nagrinėja galios ir įtakos šiuolaikinėse komunikacijos priemonėse aspektus, vartotojiškumą, nuomonių formuotojų poveikį plačiajai visuomenei. „Planeta Deluxe“ – tai nepriekaištingųjų planeta, kurioje visi siekia menamos tobulybės, reprezentuoja savo gyvenimą tik pačiomis gražiausiomis spalvomis. Kūrinys apie šiuolaikinio jauno žmogaus pastangas ir troškimą, pasitelkus skaitmenines technologijas, atrasti ryšį su pasauliu ir savimi pačiu.

Kūrinio libreto fragmentus inspiravo TikTok turinys: daina „Everything That I Need I Already Have“ (aut. Paula Wilhite), daina „Money Mantra“ (aut. King Soon). Taip pat remtasi: Cynthia‘os Nixon kalba „Be a Lady They Said“ ir daina „Nails, Hair, Hips, Heels“ (iš Todricko Hallo repertuaro).

TikTok opera – tai koliažinis darbas, elektroninės ir populiariosios muzikos sintezė, sudaryta iš trumpų fragmentų, kuriuos kompozitorė Jūra Elena Šedytė sujungė į vieningą visumą. Tokiu būdu įprasminamas „TikTok“ programėlės funkcionavimo principas: greitai besikeičiantys, pagaulūs siužetai ir muzika, intensyvus tempas, įsimenančios melodijos, žanrų įvairovė. Skirtingų autorių sukurti arba operai „paskolinti“ jau anksčiau skambėję populiarūs muzikos kūriniai yra tarsi bendro, bet iš daugybės autentiškų potėpių sudaryto paveikslo segmentai.

Kūrėjai apie TikTok operą:

Operos veiksmas grįstas nepaliaujamu, greitai įsimenančių vaizdų ir nepriekaištingų įvaizdžių srautu, kurį patiria šiuolaikinis žmogus, neretai pats tapdamas savo paties susikurtu socialinių tinklų personažu. Penki personažai, penki operos kūrėjų alter ego – šie skaitmeniniame „Planetos Deluxe“ gyvenime egzistuojantys žmonės susitinka gyvai operos scenoje.

Režisierė ir libreto autorė Greta Štiormer

Operinis bel canto dainavimas derinamas su alternatyvios populiariosios muzikos žanrais. Skirtingų muzikos žanrų pasirinkimas įtraukia žiūrovą į informacijos srautą, išryškinantį skirtingus veikėjų psichologinius paveikslus.

Kompozitorė Jūra Elena Šedytė

Operos video inspiracijos kilo iš „TikTok“ platformoje dominuojančių vizualinių kodų, komunikavimo manierų, elgesio madų. Vaizdas kuriamas animuotą, kompiuterinių žaidimų 3D estetiką ir gyvai nufilmuotą vaizdą jungiant į greitai kintančias kompozicijas. Iškėlus šiuos vaizdinius iš telefonų ekranų į operos salę suteikiama erdvės atsitraukti, trumpam „išlipti“ iš socialinių tinklų srauto ir į jį pažvelgti kito, galbūt mus stebinčiojo akimis.

Video menininkė Aistė Marija Stankevičiūtė

Socialiniai tinklai ir sąveikos alternatyvioje realybėje persikelia į sceną per eksperimentinę vaizdo, muzikos ir judesio sintezę. Kaip sąlyčio taškų paieškos, keičiančios suvokimą apie bendravimą, taip ir ši opera siekia pristatyti herojus supančią virtualybę.
