Publisher's Synopsis

This exciting collection of archival film footage-some of it never before shared publicly-will be useful for Theatre of the Oppressed students, practitioners, and scholars of any level of familiarity or experience. Resources include:

detailed footage of Augusto Boal and Julian Boal facilitating workshops at the International Pedagogy and Theatre of the Oppressed (PTO) Conference

a film of Augusto Boal's final trip to the PTO Conference

footage excerpts of a variety of artists from around the world using Forum Theatre in their own local, urgent struggles

a companion booklet of short essays and interviews that contextualize the dynamic activist projects featured on the DVD.

Combining professionally-filmed video with amateur footage, this project aims to capture Theatre of the Oppressed as a system of techniques defined simultaneously by political continuity and practical flexibility.
