The National Theatre of the Oppressed

The National Theatre of the Oppressed is an acting and social change method created by Augusto Boal. It uses theater as a tool for communities to explore issues, challenge injustice, and imagine solutions. Participants perform scenes related to societal problems, then discuss and transform these scenes to empower individuals and promote collective action. The approach emphasizes dialogue, improvisation, and active participation, making theater a means for social reform and personal empowerment. It aims to foster understanding and motivate change by engaging people directly in exploring and addressing their social realities.
