Abstract
Liceu Opera House is a 174-year-old institution in Barcelona and has an active inclusion and accessibility policy. As part of the TRACTION project (https://www.traction-project.eu/), the opera house aims to co-create an opera with participants from Raval neighbourhood, a challenging project which aims to have an impact on the neighbourhood and on the institution itself. Technology for co-creation developed as part of the project will have an important role in the process, as it will facilitate participation and communication. In this paper we focus on the first group of co-creation workshops carried out at Liceu with Sínia occupational center, which involves persons with disabilities, and Massana arts school. The study describes the process of co-creation of the graphic design of the opera poster and of the images to be included in the opera hand programme. We show the results obtained so far, and discuss how the impact of the co-creation process on the different agents involved is being evaluated.
