The AI fantasies illustrating the student stories: Watch the videos now |
|
To honor the contributions of all participating students, including those whose stories did not progress to the stage, we collaborated with our multimedia agency partner, Heimspiel. They documented the co-creation process and brought the students' visions to life through animated videos. Using AI-generated images and 3D applications, Heimspiel has created visual representations of each story. We invite you to view the videos produced by Heimspiel, which showcase the submitted stories, which have not been chosen to be staged. As we move forward, we anticipate seeing how the student stories will evolve in upcoming months into a full-fledged opera production. We extend our gratitude to all students, educators, and partners involved in pawing the way for sustainable opera future. |

|
A month ago, Opera Baltycka in Gdańsk had the pleasure of hosting the Project Butterfly Consortium, along with the librettists and the creative team, who gathered to lay the groundwork for an innovative opera production focused on sustainability. The Project Butterfly Meeting not only highlighted the significance of sustainable practices in the arts but also demonstrated the power of collaboration and innovation in paving the way for a greener future in opera production. What's more, the Partners Meeting has set a solid foundation for the future chapters of Project Butterfly. The diverse perspectives and expertise of the participants enriched the creative process, ensuring that all aspects of the opera’s staging are meticulously planned and harmoniously executed. Let's revisit some of the most exciting highlights from this experience! |

We’re excited to announce our new Instagram series exploring green theatre practices, launching every Monday! The Butterfly Project focuses on exploring sustainable theatre innovations. Through our interactions with theatres, we've seen how The Theatre Green Book principles positively impact sustainability of the shows. Interested in how this guide supports theatres in creating sustainable productions? We’ll be sharing best tips, practices and innovations helping to make opera more sustainable. From eco-friendly set designs to sustainable theatre buildings, join us weekly to learn how we can all contribute to a greener theatre industry. Follow us on Instagram @projectbuttefly_eu and be part of the movement towards a more sustainable future in the arts! |

Students' Co-Creation Journey: The Digital Book was published |
|
High school students from Gdańsk (PL), Helsinki (FI), and Modena (IT) have submitted nine stories in response. The concerns about environmental sustainability and societal harmony permeate through all of the stories, nevertheless only three will be transformed into librettos. Which topics resonated with the students the most? We invite you to explore all nine student-created stories in The Digital Book of Project Butterfly Students’ Co-creation Journey. This collection showcases all stories written by the young participants and offers a glimpse into the narratives that will shape our upcoming opera, whose working title is Elements for the Future. Dive into stories about greenwashing, pollution, the representation of nonhuman entities, and the impact of the climate crisis on human relationships. |
