"Legislative Theatre" is the latest and most remarkable stage in
the unique Augusto Boal project. It is an attempt to use theatre in
a political context to create a truer form of democracy--a method
to engage the populace. It is an extraordinary experiment in the
potential of theatre to effect social change.
At the heart of Boal's method of Forum Theatre--which is already
used in diverse contexts--is the dual meaning of the verb "to act":
to perform and take action. In "Legislative Theatre" he takes one
stage further his concept of the "spect-actor," the spectator who
intervenes in an unresolved scenario on stage to try and break a
depicted cycle of oppression. As a politician in his native Rio de
Janeiro, Boal used Forum Theatre to involve the local populace in
generating relevant legislation and social change.
The book includes a full explanation of the genesis and principles
of legislative theatre, and a description of the process in
operation in Rio. Also included are Boal's essays, speeches and
lectures on Popular Theatre, Paolo Freire, cultural activism, the
point of playwrighting, and much else besides.
