9780861040803: Theatre of the Oppressed (Pluto Classics)

Synopsis

As illiteracy has been shown to be a weapon of the ruling class, so Augusto Boal shows theatre to be a weapon, not only of bourgeois control but of revolution. He demonstrates the ways in which theatre has come to reflect ruling-class control, drawing on the theories of Aristotle and Machiavelli. He then shows the process reversed in Brechtian/Marxist poetics. All the theory is related to his own experience of revolutionary theatre in Latin America, and illustrated with practical examples of exercises and games used in the People's Theatre of Peru. This is now a classic text on radical drama. Boal restores theatre to its proper place as a popular form of communication and expression, and points to the revolutionary potential of transforming the spectator into the actor.

Review

'One of the most revered figures in world theatre ... the liberation theologian of theatre.' The Guardian 'Should be read by everyone in the world of theatre who has any pretensions at all to political commitment.' John Arden'So remarkable, so original and so ground-breaking that I have no hesitation in describing the book as the most important theoretical work on the theatre in modern times.' George Wellwarth

Condition: Bueno. : En 'Teatro del Oprimido', Augusto Boal presenta el teatro como una herramienta de revolución y comunicación popular. Basándose en las teorías de Aristóteles y Maquiavelo, Boal demuestra cómo el teatro ha reflejado el control de la clase dominante. Invierte este proceso con la poética brechtiana/marxista, ilustrando con ejemplos prácticos de ejercicios y juegos utilizados en el Teatro Popular de Perú. Este texto clásico sobre drama radical restaura el teatro a su lugar como forma de expresión, transformando al espectador en actor.
