Power to the People
The audience is part of the performance.
Brazilian performance artist Augusto Boal believes that standard theater divides people into a few who do and the many who watch. To Boal, this represents a model of the overall ruling structure in which monologue leads to oppression. In response, he wrote a book and set up a program called Theatre of the Oppressed, which taught theater groups how to incorporate a passive audience into the workings of the stage.
