Theatre of the Oppressed is a form of interactive theatre created by Brazilian director Augusto Boal in the 1970s. It aims to empower marginalized communities by encouraging participants to explore social issues through performance. This method allows individuals to express their experiences and challenge oppressive systems in a creative way. In Theatre of the Oppressed, audiences become active participants, often stepping into the roles of characters to propose solutions to conflicts presented on stage. Techniques such as Forum Theatre and Image Theatre are used to stimulate dialogue and reflection, fostering a sense of agency and collective action among participants.
