Boal

Boal, referring to Augusto Boal, was a Brazilian theater director and founder of the Artistic Practices known as the Theatre of the Oppressed. His work focuses on using theater as a tool for social change, empowering marginalized communities to express their experiences and imagine solutions to social issues. Through interactive techniques likeForums and Image Theatre, participants become active creators rather than passive viewers, helping individuals explore and challenge existing power dynamics. Boal’s approach aims to foster dialogue, awareness, and collective action, making theater a platform for personal empowerment and societal transformation.
