AITA

Joe Diebes

AITA is a music and image installation that critically and poetically excavates the history of Verdi’s opera for Cairo through archival images, present-day Western representation of Egypt, and a radical scrambling of the libretto and score. AITA was made with support from New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) via Harvestworks.
