Theatre as activism

Theatre as activism involves using theatrical performances to raise awareness, challenge injustices, and inspire social change. It employs storytelling, dialogue, and dramatic presentation to highlight issues like inequality, human rights, or environmental concerns, engaging audiences emotionally and intellectually. By transforming traditional theatre into a platform for advocacy, artists can provoke reflection, encourage dialogue, and motivate action. This approach leverages the power of live performance to make complex social issues more relatable and urgent, fostering community engagement and fostering a sense of collective responsibility for addressing societal challenges.
