Theatre of the Oppressed

Originally basing himself at the Arena Stage in Sao Paolo, Brazil, Augusto Boal developed a series of imaginative theatre exercises which promote awareness of one's social situation and its limitations, individual attitudes, and even how our bodies are bound by tradition. Boal is currently continuing his explorations in Paris, where he directs LE CEDITADE (Centre d'Etude et de Diffusion des Techniques Active d'Expression - Methode Boal), in addition to traveling and lecturing extensively in other countries. Theatre of the Oppressed combines analysis and practice, making it indispensable to those interested in dramatic theory as well as performance technique.
