Ópera na Prisão – Mozart ON

Mozart ON aims to equip young inmates of the Leiria prison with artistic and technical skills through the creation of three micro-operas.

With this, it aims to provide resources for the youngsters to have access to tools for learning and expression, encouraging awareness of the other, mutual respect and teamwork. It proposes to create an annual artistic programme at the Mozart Pavilion that includes creative workshops, co-creation and the presentation of shows, both in and outside the Leiria juvenile prison. In the first phase, participants will take part in several workshops focusing on different parts of a show (theatre, dance, creative writing, photography, music, technique), so that they can later deepen their knowledge of the artistic discipline they most identify with. One of the goals is to train a technical group to independently direct, plan and produce shows at the Mozart Pavilion and  promote collaboration with local theatres in the city of Leiria.

Project supported under the 2nd edition of the PARTIS & Art for Change initiative, promoted by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and the ‘la Caixa’ Foundation.
