Forum theater on a bed of Spinach
With his original forum theater, Augusto Boal aimed to empower oppressed groups through theater. This form of theater now has many variations worldwide. TIM Theater / Inspinazie plays it mainly in schools where one wants to look for handles in difficult situations with children or adolescents.
Relationships, friendships, bullying, drugs, social media use, racism, diversity ... are topics where experiential learning is crucial.
In this performance, the audience moves each time into a character who finds himself in challenging or exciting situations and has moral or ethical choices to make.
They become directors and co-players, taking control to fix situations where things go wrong, by different, better, more effective behavior. We always leave room for different points of view and possibilities.
As Boal called it, "Rehearsal for reality."
