The Theatre of the Oppressed (TO) and the aesthetic vision of Augusto Boal are deeply connected with the link between theatre and public space. TO is a social and political theatre method forged by the Brazilian author Augusto Boal (1931-2009), but is also the product of a historical contextualization that led Boal and his collaborators to seek aesthetic answers to the limitations of freedom they experienced. Boal’s theatre is thus configured as a space of elaboration and struggle between a contingency – characterized by injustice and conflict – and an attempt at developing meaningful trajectories capable of exploring reality in depth, in the process also revealing what remained hidden and possible paths of transformation.
