This is an invitation to a unique learning and discovery experience, where you’ll have the opportunity to explore techniques and fundamental principles of Theatre of the Oppressed, developed by the renowned Brazilian playwright Augusto Boal, style is influenced by the innovative approach of Bárbara Santos Teatro de las Oprimidas, who continues to develop the methodology with an intersectional black-feminist perspective with a special attention to the aesthetics.

During the workshop, we’ll explore different theatrical techniques, such as image and media theatre, aesthetics of the oppressed and games to stimulate dialogue and reflection.
