Following the successful launch of our Street Art Opera programme with The Scorched Earth Trilogy, MTW is now inviting Welsh artists, and artists developing their creative practice in Wales, to propose ideas for new Street Art Operas, which we plan to show in June 2024.
What are Street Operas?
New, short operas that are made to be shown outdoors, projected onto a wall or building and listened to on silent disco headphones. Like all street art, we want these pieces to convey a strong message to the world – opera as activism: Punchy, comic, satirical, poignant, powerful.
What are we looking for?
A clear and compelling idea for a new Street Art Opera
An indication of who and where it is for
A desire to work as part of a creative team that combines music creator, writer and visual artist (MTW can introduce artists to one another to create teams)
