Theater of the Opressed: a critical device for Community Social Psychology
This article presents a literature review with the aim of analyzing the compatibility between the principles of the Theater of the Oppressed and the paradigm of social intervention in Community Social Psychology. The research consists of a comparative analysis of the political and technical proposals of both and identifies some psychosocial processes that the TO promotes among the groups that it works with. The study revealed that the TO, as an community theater, offers practical strategies to activate psychosocial processes that have been investigated by CSP, such as the exercise of power, problematization, dishabituation, awareness raising and disnaturalization, among others. These are exercised using body language and experimenting reality in the scene, thus reaching the aim of CSP.
