自由在於可以說 2+2=4
改造歌劇，
背叛形式，
出賣焦慮，
交換記憶。
電影是過去式，
歌劇是現在式。
劇場有時是影院，
影院有時是歌劇的道具背景。
電幕是劇場中的大型裝置。
是功能性的影像屏幕，
更是表達故事的故事。
故事中電幕是監視與支配世界的鏡子。
歌是語言，是故事，是作品的意志。
故事中語言漸被新語取代而失效，
歌劇卻是發明新歌新唱法的革命。
戲中角色穿梭於現場與影像，
跳躍於1984與2014。
時空與時空之間由舞台及電幕連接，
現場的人與電幕中的人對唱，
過去的人為現在的人演戲。
Freedom is the freedom to say that 2+2=4
Opera reinterpreted, a betrayal of form.
Uncovering anxieties, an exchange of memories.
Films depict an absent tense, while opera thrives on presence.
Just as theatre can become cinema, cinema becomes the backdrop of an opera.
The installation is the telescreen.
It is both the medium of transmission and the mirror of surveillance.
Music is the language, the story and the will of the work.
In the story, language is gradually replaced by Newspeak.
Opera invents new songs and methods of singing in an act of revolt.
Characters shuttle between live presence and images.
Leaping back and forth between 1984 and 2014.
Time and space are bound by stage and telescreen.
People on stage sing along with people on screen.
People from the past perform for people in the present.

Nerve
(許敖山 Steve Hui）
經常被簡稱為作曲家、演奏家、唱片騎師、策展人或教育工作者。對於如何界定當代音樂、電子音樂、聲音藝術、電影配樂、多媒體劇場、文化交流和狂野派對有無限想象，遊離於象牙塔尖端與十八層地下無間道，實驗甚麼是實驗。
Steve Hui (AKA Nerve), is a composer, performer, DJ, curator and educator. The mark of his prolific creative output can be found across diverse fields from contemporary music, electronic music, sound art, film soundtracks, multimedia theatre, cross-disciplinary exchange to rave parties. Equally at home in the ivory tower of asceticism and the depths of the underground, his singular aim is to uncover the true spirit of experimentation.
