Forum Theatre in Argoncilhe Feedbacks










Debriefing after the day in Argoncilhe was over

Testimonies about the experience:

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6

1. "We got to know ourselves a little better. We identified with what we saw in the plays as they were very objective... It was a nice day!"

2.
"A communication platform was created here, non burocratic, non boring, amusing, that changed things".

3. " Working on problems that concern the whole community, controversial and conflitual, works well as the Oppressed Theatre is really that. It's about awarness of our everyday oppressions, because they're presented to us from the outside and we identify, which leads us to fight back. that's what I like about the Oppressed Theatre. I've never met medium so effective. There's no burocracy, no individual interests, it's only about changing and overcoming barriers. That's why it works."

4. " In the soap operas the script is done, right? In the Forum Theatre, we do something but we have the chance of going back and doing it again, considering the inputs of spectators. And they also get to participate playing it as they would like it to be".

5. " It gets everyone to open their eyes, when things are put in front of you just like that."

6. "
That issue arises from the lack of power that reality imposes to people. Here, we face a situation that you can play any other way you feel like, so, by conforming your reality you can make things really right, because you can pick the elements and connect them in different ways until you're satisfied with the result... You're not limited to the moves imposed by pre-existing situations."
