Musikfestival deLIGHTed - Ensemble Olivinn

By the end of 2011 Ipek Ipekcioglu took part at the Delighted Festival a project together with the Ensemble Olivinn at Atze Musiktheater, in which opera is combined with hip-hop music. OpeRap has shown how Romantic opera arias slowly deviate from classical patterns when DJ Ipek infixes her beats and loops. The Streetdance-formation FOOTWORK deluxe incorporates these contrasting impulses and encloses another layer to this artistic fusion live on stage in Berlin.
