ABOUT FORUM THEATRE

Forum Theatre was developed by Augusto Boal, a Brazilian dramatist. Forced to leave Brazil in the 1970s, he developed his ideas of democratizing politics through theatre and created the Centres of Theatre for the Oppressed in Paris and Rio de Janeiro.

The goal of Forum Theatre is to encourage social change through promoting empathy between different groups. In Cambodia, this approach can be used to empower communities, including minority groups and youth; teach them to express themselves and address their personal challenges, build understanding for each other.
