INT.AR.S. Project
INTeractive ARts Stories
Zelda Teatro is participating in the National Recovery and Resilience Plan with the INT.AR.S. INTeractive ARts Stories project.
THE PROJECT
INT.AR.S is an innovative digital format designed to narrate historical episodes and scientific discoveries and convey educational content to students and the general public through gamification.
INT.AR.S combines the experience of comics and animation, actor interpretation, historical and narrative text, and podcasts, with interaction strategies borrowed from video games and librogames. All this is done to foster learning through immersion in historical situations and empathy with the characters created.
INT.AR.S encourages the development in children of soft skills such as problem solving, empathy and creativity.
INT.AR.S provides teachers and trainers with up-to-date digital tools for educational development.
INT.AR.S is inclusive and gives live performance artists new opportunities for growth and professionalization.

HOW IT WORKS
Users (students and teachers in preference, but also anyone who would like to learn more about the topics covered) log on to a dedicated website and from there can access the game (now available pilot story on Caravaggio) and the Creative Lab.
PILOT STORY
This is the demo of what will become a full-fledged video game.
At the end of each animated sequence, students and teachers will have to choose from multiple options to continue the story, which will unfold based on the choices they make.
Along the way, through descriptions and characters encountered, students will acquire information about historical events, important places and people, and will be able to explore specific themes.
