Eika Katappa plot
The title "Eika Katappa" can be translated as 'scattered images'. A description of an associative and imaginative film, an experimental collage of image and sound without a clear coherence - it must ultimately arise in the mind of the spectator. Eika Katappa is a fusion of elements from the opera, theater and film world. Schroeter refers to all kinds of cultural archetypes and mixes art and kitsch, facts and myths, and high and low culture: the soundtrack includes both opera diva Maria Callas and the popular singer Caterina Valente. The actors deliberately make no effort to mimic in sync with the songs that can be heard: many opera arias, but also German schlagers.
