Political theatre, like any kind of political action, can only be
judged in relation to the political moment in which it tries to
intervene. Theatre of the Oppressed was created to fight against
dictatorship and an extremely centralized conception of politics.
How does it function now, in a time of social media and so-called
participatory democracies? Providing an in-depth account of the
political and cultural context in which Theatre of the Oppressed
emerged, this book asks: how do contemporary understandings of
concepts like oppression, representation, participation, and
emancipation shape Theatre of the Oppressed today? Highlighting the
pitfalls of reducing oppression to one-to-one relationships, the
book proposes a version of Forum Theatre dramaturgy that portrays
oppression as a defining structure of societies. The author also
shares specific examples of movements and other organizations that
use Theatre of the Oppressed to construct themselves. Theatre of
the Oppressed and its Times is an essential text for practitioners
and scholars of Theatre of the Oppressed, applied theatre
practitioners, students, and anyone interested in how theatre can
concretely assist in the transformation of the world.
