Legislative Theatre

Legislative Theatre is a performance art approach, developed by Brazilian theatre director Augusto Boal, that aims to engage citizens in political dialogue and decision-making. It combines elements of theatre with the legislative process, allowing participants to act out community issues and propose changes to laws or policies. Through role-playing, audiences can identify problems in their society, suggest solutions, and actively participate in shaping legislation. This interactive format seeks to empower individuals, enhance democratic participation, and foster collaboration between citizens and lawmakers in addressing social challenges.
