The Routledge Companion to Theatre of the OppressedAuthor(s): Kelly Howe, Julian Boal, Jos Soeiro\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138291027, 978-1138291027\nSynopsis\nThis dynamic book offers a comprehensive companion to the theory and practice of Theatre of the Oppressed. Developed by Brazilian director and theorist Augusto Boal, these theatrical forms invite people to mobilize their knowledge and rehearse struggles against oppression.\n\nFeaturing a diverse array of voices (many of them as yet unheard in the academic world), the book hosts dialogues on the following questions, among others:\n\nWhy and how did Theatre of the Oppressed develop?\n\nWhat are the differences between the 1970s (when Theatre of the Oppressed began) and today?\n\nHow has Theatre of the Oppressed been shaped by local and global shifts of the last 40-plus years?\n\nWhy has Theatre of the Oppressed spread or \""multiplied\"" across so many.
