The Aesthetics of the Oppressed is the theoretical and practical basis of the Theatre of the Oppressed. It is a set of creative activities that aiming at dismantling the oppressive system’s castrating strategies of influencing and convincing the oppressed that they are incapable of creating, participating and deciding.
This work attempts to stimulate the group members to develop their own aesthetic perception so that the power of the stories told, the force of this dramaturgy inherent in life can have a plastic (and political) representation with which they identify and in which they recognize themselves.
The Aesthetics of the Oppressed is not the art of decoration. It is the art of expression. Its objective should be the aesthetic communication of the perception the group has of their own reality.
Set Design for Community Theatre
The use of locally available resources; the search for solutions that simplify the change of the characters’ costumes; the assembling and dismantling of settings and the transition from one scene to another; and the creation of representations that compressing time and space, without unnecessary details and with minimal changes of environment; are fundamental ingredients in working with community groups, which challenging us with limitations of resources, experience and time availability.
Through the Aesthetics of the Oppressed techniques, developed from found objects (recycled) will be created scenic elements.
The more powerful the image that represents a certain reality being, the greater the effectiveness of its communication and encouragement of the spectators’ interventions.
