Teatro del Oprimido

Teatro del Oprimido, or Theater of the Oppressed, is a participatory theater method developed by Augusto Boal that encourages communities to explore social issues through performance. It transforms audiences into active participants, allowing them to analyze, discuss, and rehearse solutions for problems like injustice or inequality. By engaging in improvisational scenes and exercises, people gain awareness and empower themselves to challenge and change oppressive systems. It’s both a creative tool for social change and a form of activism, fostering dialogue and collective action in a respectful and non-judgmental space.
