Descrizione del progetto
Portare l’opera tra le persone emarginate
Tradizionalmente apprezzata dall’aristocrazia, l’opera sarà impiegata per entrare in contatto con migranti, bisognosi delle aree rurali e minori autori di reati. Il progetto TRACTION, finanziato dall’UE, utilizzerà l’opera per definire nuove forme di creazione artistica attraverso cui gruppi di persone emarginate potranno raccontare storie oggi significative. I progetti sperimentali si terranno in quartieri centrali di Barcellona, comunità rurali dell’Irlanda e in una prigione portoghese per giovani pregiudicati a Leiria. Proporrà approcci nuovi per quanto riguarda la creazione dell’opera, i media digitali, l’integrazione sociale e lo sviluppo delle comunità. Identificherà nuove rotte per l’integrazione sociale ed economica e formerà legami più forti tra i realizzatori dell’opera e la società. Nel lungo periodo, il progetto definirà come l’arte possa essere utilizzata per realizzare società coese a cui tutti i membri si sentano di appartenere.
Obiettivo
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.
