Abstract

Theatre of The Oppressed (TO) is a form of artistic and political intervention developed by Brazilian playwright Augusto Boal (1931-2009). In this entry the founding principles, the aims and techniques characterizing this political and ethics-oriented praxis are presented, arguing that they can provide a meaningful framework of artistic and political action in the field of migration. All together – principles, aims and praxis – define TO as a space of citizenship, build up by collective actions and creative multiplication of the praxis.
