THEATER OF THE OPPRESSEDThe Theater of the Opressed (TOD) is a method developped the brasilian advisor, actor, director and pedagogue Augusto Boal in the 1960s. The Theater of the Oppressed is about the theater of oppressed social classes and about all oppressed people inside these social classes. The methods of the Theater of the Opressed are influenced by Bertolt Brechts epic theater and by The Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire. They contain some initial games for actors and non-actors: the journalistic theater, the rainbow of desire, the legislative theater, the invisible theater, the image theater and the forum theater – the most famous among them.They are aimed at transforming the observers into protagonists of the dramatic action and “through this transformation helping the observers to prepare real actions which lead them to their own liberation”. The Aesthetic Eduaction has been the last method developped by Augosto Boal.http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teatro_del_oprimido

Shelter Escazu, 2006 Self-portraits of 6 and 7 year old childrenIn these self-portraits we can detect characteristics that appear very often in drawings of abused children. Deformed or nonexistent extremities for exemple, as well as enourmous heads, empty eyes and the utilization of black.

We denounce aggresors when we have to face cases of abuse in school children like the following case in Los Lagos School, Liberia, 2006.
