What is the Theater of the Oppressed?

Podcast in French introducing the Theater of the Oppressed, a participatory method for social change.

In this podcast, Aline Petit delves into the concept of the Theater of the Oppressed, a theatrical method developed by Augusto Boal in the 1960s. This approach aims to transform spectators into "spect-actors" by actively involving them in performances to analyze and resolve situations of oppression. The podcast outlines various forms of this method, such as forum theater, image theater, and invisible theater, and discusses their application in different social contexts to promote empowerment and social change.
