“An opera is a dramatic theatre piece with music. And that’s what we do”. So O-Team teams up with Portuguese Electro-Punk-Post-Combat-Pop-Band Lonzdale’s Fantasy to develop a big opera project for a somewhat mysterious festival in some remote area of Basilicata, southern Italy.
F.A.K.E. is a semi-documentary project about the difficult task of being an artist. A constantly evolving art-pop work is created in several stages.
First, it combines footage from the making-of of the year-long trip to Basilicata with parts of performances and a concert. Then, directly from the Japan-Tour, en route to Mexico with exclusive unreleased material and lost diary entries. Now with extended instrumental passages, banjo solos and lots of houseflies.
