Virgilio questioned them: “Do you mean then that the blood necessary to liberate the earth, announced in the song you sing in your show, is ours? In response, Augusto Boal said: “That day, on the trip to the northeast region, my life changed. The priest Batalha1 and the peasant Virgilio changed my conception of art. At least, my way of seeing theater and its usefulness” (2013).

In Brazil, the military created decrees that gave extra-constitutional powers to legitimize the regime and suspend citizens’ constitutional guarantees. Between 1964 and 1969, seventeen institutional acts (IA) were promulgated. The first of these defined the military coup as a revolution: “the victorious revolution, as a constituent power, legitimizes itself,” they stated. In 1968, with IA-5, the system dramatically reduced the possibilities of expression and resistance.

Técnicas del teatro del oprimido de augusto boal

El Teatro del Oprimido (TO) describe las formas teatrales que el practicante de teatro brasileño Augusto Boal elaboró por primera vez en la década de 1970, inicialmente en Brasil y posteriormente en Europa. Boal estuvo influenciado por la obra del educador y teórico Paulo Freire y su libro Pedagogía del Oprimido. Las técnicas de Boal utilizan el teatro como medio para promover el cambio social y político en consonancia, en un principio, con la política de izquierda radical y, posteriormente, con la ideología de centro-izquierda. En el Teatro del Oprimido, el público pasa a ser activo, de manera que como “espect-actores” exploran, muestran, analizan y transforman la realidad en la que viven.

Aunque se adoptó oficialmente por primera vez en la década de 1970, el Teatro del Oprimido, término acuñado por Augusto Boal, es una serie de análisis y críticas teatrales que se desarrollaron por primera vez en la década de 1950. Boal fue un ferviente defensor del uso de técnicas interactivas, especialmente en el contexto del teatro. Muchas de sus ideas son consideradas como “una perspectiva de los nuevos medios”, a pesar de su nacimiento relativamente temprano. Desde entonces, estas ideas se han desarrollado más, dándoles sentido en un contexto actual. La creación del Teatro del Oprimido se basa en gran medida en la idea del diálogo y la interacción entre el público y el intérprete. Además, estas ideas han servido de marco para el desarrollo y la evolución de ideas más fuertes[1].

4. Theater is defined as the simultaneous existence – in the same space and context – of actors and spectators. Each human being is capable of observing the situation and of observing himself/herself in the situation.

6. Every human being is capable of acting: in order to survive, we necessarily have to produce actions and observe those actions and their effects on the outside world. To be Human means to be Theater: the coexistence of the actor and the spectator in the same individual. This is the Subjective Theater.

7. When human beings limit themselves to the observation of an object, a person or a space, denying their capacity and necessity to act, the energy that would be used to act is transferred on that space or object, creating a subjective space in the physical space that already existed: it is the Aesthetic Space. This is the Objective Theater.
