"Theatre of the Oppressed," by Augusto Boal, is a practical guide that uses theater techniques to empower people to address social and political issues. It encourages audiences to become active participants, rather than passive viewers, through methods like role-playing and improvisation. The goal is to foster critical awareness and collective action, enabling individuals to explore solutions and challenge injustice in their communities. The approach emphasizes dialogue, creativity, and empowerment, transforming theater into a tool for social change and personal liberation.
