“The theater itself is not revolutionary: it is a rehearsal for the revolution." 
~ Augusto Boal 

Theater of the Oppressed is a participatory form of theatre developed by Augusto Boal that uses performance as a tool for social and political change. It invites audiences to become active participants (nicknamed “spect-actors”) who explore, question, and transform situations of oppression through dramatic action. By rehearsing real-life struggles on stage, it empowers communities to imagine and practice paths toward justice and liberation.
