Thursday April 10, 2008 12:13 by Paula G
Radical Theatre innovator spoke to a packed house at the Abbey last Thursday "Boal’s teachings were controversial, and he was labeled a cultural activist, which the 1960s Brazilian military saw as a threat. In 1971, Boal was arrested, tortured, and eventually exiled to Argentina, where he published his first book "Theatre of the Oppressed" in 1973, later fleeing to Europe." Radical theatre is very much alive and kicking and Dublin was privileged to host such a veteran of the world of radical theatre last thursday at the Abbey. |

He changed so much both in theatre world(s) and in real world....(hard to distinguish at times)
Great to see more simple quality audio like this getting out to the wider world via IMC and related local community networks, this is the key, education while doing other stuff, be it on bus as paula pointed out, or at a computer clikity clik-ing working away in another country.... more of it please. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE
Raul, who worked with boal in brazil and has been in ireland for some time, participated in an early seomra spraoi event a long time back with us. that was the time of the "no more death on our streets" chants from street scene, he did a theatre of the opressed workshop with a group of about 20 people and it was very special, a few of the homeless lads participated... it was a start, but like so much never went much further, perhaps it will be talked about at this w/e's scoil spraoi...hope so
