The writing workshop of the Re[EDU]:Opera project marks the beginning of a creative and collaborative journey towards the construction of a small community opera. In the first stage, participants are invited to explore ideas, memories, and experiences around cultural accessibility, the central theme of the creation, shaping the libretto that will serve as the basis for the future composition.

Guided by Mário João Alves, the workshop offers a space for experimentation and sharing, where the word is a meeting point for different voices, sensibilities, and experiences. An open and inclusive writing experience, where everyone can contribute to imagining an opera made with and for the community.
