这篇文章质疑奥古斯托·波尔关于被压迫者戏剧作为一种“实践革命”的手段的观点。文章以巴西、布基纳法索、厄立特里亚和埃塞俄比亚的工作为例，比较了拉丁美洲和非洲的实践和影响。本文将论证，虽然Boal开发的许多技术作为“受压迫者社区”的戏剧实践的一部分是有用的，但Boal创造的印象是他创造了一个新的普遍适用的系统是误导的，不加批判地遵循他的想法会扼杀创造力，低估文化特定实践的价值。
This article interrogates Augusto Boal’s idea of Theatre of the Oppressed as a means of ‘practising for the revolution’. Comparing practice and influence in Latin America and Africa the article draws on examples from work in Brazil, Burkina Faso, Eritrea and Ethiopia. The article will argue that while many of the techniques developed by Boal are useful as part of theatre practice with ‘communities of the oppressed’, the impression created by Boal that he has created a new universally applicable system is misleading, and uncritical following of his ideas can stifle creativity and undervalue culturally specific practice.
