Wahlmodul Theatre of the Oppressed
Content: Rainbow of Desire Techniques
With these techniques we investigate oppressions in its subjective aspects, analysing the attitudes of those who oppress as well as the reactions, contradictions and concessions of those who see themselves as oppressed in the situation. Situations of oppression are not only a particular relation between an oppressor and an oppressed, also include the social context, which include and influence the involved social actors. Understanding the complexity of the oppression and of its social actors - who cause, suffer and feed it -, is critical to the effectiveness of the search for alternatives. The techniques of the Rainbow of Desire are extremely effective for the deconstruction of the various aspects that intervene in structuring and maintaining the situation of oppression. These techniques provide tools for this research and demonstrate how the discovery of the complexity of the situation can enrich the discussion. This experience will be developed in the transition between techniques of the Rainbow of the Desire and Forum Theatre, in a context of activities of the Aesthetics of the Oppressed. Working Plan: Concentrate period of work is the best option for the development of these techniques, which need continuity. |
