"...this place is nothing but a kind of repair and service station — a sort of cosmic laundry, you might say. We get the souls in here by the bushelful.
Then we get busy and clean them up. And you ought to see some of them. The muck and the slime. Phoo! And as full of holes as a flour-sifter. But we fix them up. We disinfect them and give them a kerosene rub and mend the holes and back they go - practically as good as new."
Elmer Rice, The Adding Machine
La Calisto by Cavalli
The concept is inspired by Afghan rural architecture in the first period of Taliban occupation and the U.S military involvement, with the opera's prologue taking place in an imaginary American immigration office. my most inspirational piece of research is the ruined Buddhist monuments in Bamian Cliffs, which | then abstracted and used in the background of my design, and shaped the rest of the design around that.
