Forum Theatre Project


        

AtticRep’s Forum Theatre Project strives to reflect the topics of its community by using unique performance strategies adapted from Brazilian director Augusto Boal’s seminal work The Theatre of the Oppressed. The Forum Theatre Project constructs original performances using stories from different communities, focusing on the individual’s sense of belonging and the specifics of local problems. Using your stories as inspiration to develop an original theatrical work, the Forum Theatre Project aims to provoke dialogue and, through dialogue, change.


Inspired by the work of Brazilian theater director Augusto Boal, Roberto Prestigiacomo, the Producing Artistic Director of AtticRep, has developed a unique Forum Theatre Project which is the first of its kind in San Antonio. Since 2006, with his students at Trinity University and with the actors of AtticRep, Roberto has created Forum Theatre Projects and Invisible Theatre performances dealing with Physical Abuse, Bulimia, Teen Pregnancy, Personal Distance, Walls, Homelessness, and Illegal Immigration.
