Agitprop theatre

Agitprop theatre is a form of performance art aimed at promoting political ideas or social change. Originating from the combination of "agitation" and "propaganda," it seeks to energize audiences around specific causes through dramatic storytelling, often emphasizing activism, critique of injustice, or revolutionary principles. The style is usually direct, accessible, and emotionally engaging, designed to inspire viewers to think differently or take action. Historically linked to political movements, agitprop theatre uses art as a tool for education and persuasion, blending entertainment with a purposeful message.
