Verbatim Theater

Verbatim theater is a performance style that uses real people’s spoken words as its script. Artists collect interviews, speeches, or everyday conversations and transform them into a play, preserving the original voices and expressions of the speakers. This technique often highlights social issues, human experiences, and diverse perspectives, creating a powerful connection between the audience and the subject matter. By presenting authentic dialogues, verbatim theater invites viewers to engage with real stories, enhancing empathy and understanding of different viewpoints.
