verbatim theatre

Verbatim theatre is a form of performance that uses the exact words of real people, often taken from interviews, speeches, or other recordings. The actors portray these real-life characters, delivering their lines as authentically as possible to capture the essence of their thoughts and experiences. This style aims to highlight social issues, personal stories, or historical events, creating a powerful connection between the audience and the subject matter. By presenting true narratives, verbatim theatre can provoke reflection and discussion on important topics in a very relatable way.
