Theatre of the Oppressed (TO) is often referred to as a body of
theatrical techniques. Yet this does not do justice to the rich
contribution of Brazilian theatre director Augusto Boal, TO's
founder and innovator of over 40 years.
"A Boal Companion" explores performative and cultural ideas and
practices that inform Boal's work by putting them alongside those
from related disciplines. Contributors in this anthology put TO
into dialogue with complexity theory, Merleau-Ponty, Emmanuel
Levinas, race theory, feminist performance art, Deleuze and
Guattari, and liberation psychology -- to name just a few. In this
way, kinship between Boal's project and multiple fields including
social psychology, ethics, biology, comedy, trauma studies, and
political science is made visible.
This collection not only expands the knowledge of TO practitioners
and scholars but invites into TO those readers unfamiliar with
Boal's work whose primary interests lie in one of the related
disciplines addressed in these essays. The ideas generated
throughout the collection will:
- Expand readers' understanding of TO as a complex,
interdisciplinary, multi-vocal body of philosophical
discourses
- Provide a variety of lenses through which to practice and
critique TO
- Make explicit the relationships between TO and other bodies of
work.
