Social Theatre as a Way to Rewrite Reality

Social Theatre as a Way to Rewrite Reality

Format: An interactive lecture with a few fun hands-on exercises.

Discover how theatre evolved from being simply a form of artistic expression into a powerful tool for social change.

The lecture will trace the history of social theatre, beginning with its early roots and exploring the groundbreaking work of Augusto Boal, who transformed theatre into a means of resisting dictatorship and empowering communities across Latin America.

We'll also examine contemporary community-based theatre practices, where performance becomes a space for dialogue, collective storytelling, and positive social transformation.

Alongside the discussion, participants will take part in several interactive activities, offering a chance to experience the principles of social theatre in practice.
