The Aesthetics of the Oppressed
Augusto Boal's workshops and theatre exercises are renowned throughout the world for their life-changing effects. At last this major director, practitioner, and author of many books on community theatre speaks out about the subjects most important to him – the practical work he does with diverse communities, the effects of globalization, and the creative possibilities for all of us.
Games for Actors and Non-Actors
Games for Actors and Non-Actors is the classic and best selling book by the founder of Theatre of the Oppressed, Augusto Boal. It sets out the principles and practice of Boal's revolutionary Method, showing how theatre can be used to transform and liberate everyone – actors and non-actors alike!

Legislative Theatre
Augusto Boal's reputation is now moving beyond the realms of theatre and drama therapy, bringing him to the attention of a wider public. Legislative Theatre is the latest and most remarkable stage in his work. 'Legislative Theatre' is an attempt to use Boal's method of 'Forum Theatre' within a political system to create a truer form of democracy. It is an extraordinary experiment in the potential of theatre to affect social change. At the heart o…

Entretien avec Augusto Boal
Le Theâtre de l'Opprime, indissociable de la trajectoire de son createur, l'artiste-militant bresilien Augusto Boal, pretend abolir l'idee d'un « citoyenspectateur » et la remplacer par celle d'un « citoyen-acteur », dans tous les sens du terme. L 'acception meme du concept boalien de spect-acteur et le rapport dialectique qui en appelle a la fois a « l'identification » et a la « distanciation », renvoient a un theâtre dont l'ambition majeure est…
Legislative theatre
The arsenal of theatre of the oppressed
The Cop in the Head
The theatre of the oppressed emphasizes theatre as a language that must be spoken, not a discourse that must be listened to. It also stresses theatre as a process that must be developed, rather than a finished product that must be consumed. The theatre of the oppressed goes beyond the ordinary boundaries of theatre because it asserts the oppressed are the subjects rather than the objects of theatrical activity. Also, it advances toward other doma…

Boal in Brazil, France, the USA
Invisible Theatre
What happened at Liege was an interesting experience for me. There were so many subjects to discuss and delicate problems to deal with; so many people to talk to and so many unexpected events took place that we ended up being much more aware of what is about, its limitations, its functions, and dangers. I began doing in Argentina in 1971. And until today, after so many years and all the countries I've been to, I have never participated in such a …

The Joker System
After World War II, United States businessmen found it cheaper to run their own factories in Brazil, rather than ship goods from the U.S. They could profit from a low standard wage, and the factories would be closer to both the markets and the raw materials needed: steel, minerals, oil, etc. So it was decided to make São Paulo the largest industrial city in South America. U.S. money started pouring in, U.S. companies were granted enormous loans f…
A Note on Brazilian Agitprop
In 1963, during the Cuban crisis, several playwrights in Rio de Janeiro called a meeting to write a script: The Blockade of Intervention: An Indictment. The following afternoon some students, workers, and artists from the Popular Center of Culture of the National Student Union rehearsed the script hurriedly, and performed it that night before a large crowd gathered in front of the Municipal Theatre in the heart of the city. The play opened twenty…
