Documentary Theatre

Documentary theatre is a form of performance that uses real events and factual material to tell stories. It combines interviews, testimonials, and historical documents, presenting them in a theatrical format. This genre aims to engage audiences with real-life issues, often highlighting social, political, or historical themes. The performances can include scripted dialogues or verbatim accounts, allowing the audience to connect with genuine human experiences. By focusing on reality, documentary theatre encourages reflection and discussion about important topics, making it a powerful tool for both education and advocacy.
