„Uncensored Berio“ is a multimedia opera with music by Luciano Berio and Jocy de Oliveira. Libretto and text , conception, videos and general direction by Jocy de Oliveira. It was written in memory of Berio for the tenth anniversary of his death. With elaborated scenic resources , the opera dramatizes the author’s journal and correspondence with Berio during the sixties and seventies recapturing an absorbing story of an artistic and affectionate encounter. Without following a linear or chronologic story, the opera weaves music, storytelling , dialogues and letter readings into a delicate memory landscape. The ton of this touching script elapses between musical observations, deep moments of emotion, unknown anecdotic and fascinating stories. The piece opens and closes with the current theme of a „Naufrage“ assembling segments from Berio’s prophetic “Opera” and Jocy de Oliveira ‘s music.
