Political theater refers to performances or events that use dramatic techniques to comment on political issues or influence public opinion. This form of expression can include plays, protests, or staged events that highlight social injustices, government actions, or political ideologies. It aims to engage audiences emotionally and provoke thought about political matters. Often, political theater draws on historical events, figures, or movements, such as the Civil Rights Movement or the Vietnam War, to create a narrative that resonates with contemporary issues. By blending art and activism, it seeks to inspire change and encourage civic engagement among viewers.
