The Theatre of the Oppressed Institute

The Theatre of the Oppressed Institute is an organization founded by Brazilian theater director Augusto Boal, which uses interactive theater as a tool for social change. Its goal is to empower marginalized individuals by encouraging them to express their experiences and find solutions to their social issues through performance. By engaging audiences as participants, it stimulates dialogue and critical thinking about power dynamics, oppression, and justice in society. Through methods such as "Forum Theatre," participants can explore and rehearse actions against oppression, fostering a sense of agency and community involvement.
