Descripción del proyecto
Introducción de la ópera a los marginados
La ópera, tradicionalmente disfrutada por la aristocracia, se utilizará para llegar a inmigrantes, personas pobres de zonas rurales y jóvenes delincuentes. El proyecto TRACTION, financiado con fondos europeos, empleará la ópera para definir nuevas formas de creación artística mediante las cuales los grupos marginados puedan contar historias que importen en la actualidad. Se llevarán a cabo proyectos experimentales en barrios céntricos de Barcelona, en comunidades rurales de Irlanda y en la prisión portuguesa para delincuentes juveniles de Leiria. Propondrá nuevos enfoques en cuanto a creación operística, medios digitales e integración social y desarrollo comunitario. Identificará nuevas vías para la integración social y económica y generará vínculos más fuertes entre los productores de ópera y la sociedad. A largo plazo, definirá cómo el arte puede utilizarse para crear sociedades cohesivas a las cuales pertenecen todos sus miembros.
Objetivo
Opera uses all the visual and performing arts to create extraordinary worlds of passion and sensibility. It is rightly recognised as a great achievement of European culture. And yet a form that once inspired social and artistic revolutions is often seen as the staid preserve of the elite. With rising inequality and social exclusion, many see opera—if they think of it at all—as symbolic of what is wrong in Europe today. TRACTION aims to change that using opera as a path for social and cultural inclusion, making it once again a force for radical transformation.
We do not want to make opera palatable to those who don’t attend. We want to define new forms of artistic creation through which the most marginalised groups (migrants, the rural poor, young offenders and others) can work with artists to tell the stories that matter now. By combining best practice in participatory art with digital technology’s innovations of language, form and process, we will define new approaches to co-creation and innovate in three fields: a) Opera creation and production; b) Immersive and interactive digital media; and c) Social integration and community development.
Experimental projects in inner-city Barcelona (ES), a youth prison in Leiria (PT) and rural communities in Ireland will test and share new ideas. Bridging the social and cultural divides involved will challenge many existing beliefs, structures and habits. The exceptional resources of the TRACTION partnership will help us meet that challenge through mutual support. The immediate outcomes will be new routes for social and economic integration for the people involved, better relationships between opera producers and society, and cutting-edge technological development. But the long-term prize is the definition of new processes that renew the art’s potential to build cohesive societies and imagine a revitalised, common culture in which everyone can feel that they belong.
