A Wide Range of Scenic Offers
This Wednesday, the Days of Inclusion in the performing arts return to Tarragona with a diverse and free program for all attendees. The day on 6 September promises to be one of the highlights, with a selection of activities designed to encourage inclusion.
Shows that Transform Lives
In the morning, the Tarragona Theater will be the stage for ‘Ballar l’aigua’, an innovative proposal from Madrid that seeks to connect with spectators with severe intellectual disabilities, directed by Chefa Alonso and Raquel Sánchez.
In the afternoon, the audience will be able to enjoy ‘Orgia’, a play by the Andalusian company La Rara, which uses Verbatim theater to explore the experiences of women with mental illness, connecting their stories with the experiences of other contemporary women.
Documentaries and Music for Inclusion
The Caixafòrum will be the setting for the screening of ‘Mujereando. El quejío de una Diosa’, a documentary that addresses the lives of homeless women, followed by a colloquium to discuss the rights and visibility of these women through theatre.
Attendees will also be able to immerse themselves in music with ‘Al Ázar’, an Arabic folk concert featuring Palestinian singer Rawan Nairat and musicians from Bolivia and Germany, creating a space for cultural diversity.
Spaces for Dialogue and Reflection
In addition to the artistic performances, the day will include working groups for professionals in the sector. In the Sala Plana at Casa Canals, there will be a discussion on ‘Scenic spaces and the evolution of regulations’, with experts such as Luis Alonso Calzada and Ingrid Llopart, who will address the new accessibility regulations.
A second group, focused on ‘Re-viewing the mission of cultural institutions’, will analyze the role of public institutions, with the participation of prominent figures such as Valentí Oviedo of the Gran Teatre del Liceu.
Inclusion through Creativity
The topics of the other working groups will focus on peripheral territories and new generations. ‘Co-creation and peripheries’ will explore inclusion from a decentralized perspective, while ‘Youth-led cultural management’ will present successful cases of initiatives driven by young cultural managers.
Workshops for Everyone
The day will also offer four workshops in the afternoon, open to both professionals and the general public. One of the outstanding workshops will be the ‘Production of accessible shows’, led by experts in the creation of inclusive formats.
Other workshops will include one on ‘Facilitating and Directing’ with the aim of rethinking theater as a tool for social change, and one on ‘Music in hospital contexts’, which seeks to create emotional well-being through music.
An Inclusive Future
With such a rich and varied program, the Days of Inclusion in the performing arts not only promote diversity, but also open the doors to a future where art and culture are accessible to everyone. Tarragona thus becomes an example of how inclusion can transform lives through art.
