How can the performing arts add value to peacebuilding programs? Is
it possible to use participatory theatre to reconnect and reconcile
enemies? What is the trauma-healing effect for those acting in a
theatre troupe? Claus Schrowange has explored these questions and
the opportunities of using forum theatre in peace work in Uganda,
South Sudan, Rwanda, and DR Congo. His conclusion is that forum
theatre is more than mere entertainment. It is an aesthetic tool
for social change. But the value of theatre is not generated
automatically, the way it is done matters. If it is done in a
participatory manner with an authentic, believable acting style,
involving both the audience and stage actor in a vivid and touching
experience, the impact is immediately felt. This book presents the
approach Schrowange developed together with a team of African
theatre practitioners in a variety of circumstances and
environments. It is illustrated with case studies taken from the
author s direct experience of using the approach he describes in
Eastern DR Congo and Rwanda.
