WORKSHOP: Theatre of Oppressed
Venue:
The workshop is designed to strengthen community activation and dialogue through interactive exercises developed from "Theatre of Oppressed" and physical theatre techniques.
It offers a space for creative expression and exploration of dynamics of relationships. In this workshop, we engage in exercises, games, improvisation and theatrical techniques to express our ideas, share experiences, and better understand our relationships with one another.
For Who?
This experience is open to everyone. No previous theatre experience is required - just a willingness to engage, explore new ways of thinking and share your presence.
What is "Theatre of Oppressed"?
It's a theatre technique developed by Augusto Boal, aims to find ways for individuals or communities to actively and creatively resist the imbalance caused by the oppressor-oppressed relationship. It is dedicated to understanding, developing, and renegotiating these imbalances. The practice is used as a functional tool for understanding and addressing social issues, turning theater into a platform for conscious exploration of social change.
