Theatre De L’ Opprime
Nested in a former furniture-shop-turned-theatre, the Theater of the Oppressed organizes training courses and workshops, artistic research labs, rehearsals, and creations. Since 1998, the company, led by Rui Frati, has continued to develop its own work, while hosting and co-producing with the theatre, dance, and music companies. The company’s programming promotes contemporary drama and newly emerging troupes while remaining focused on established directors and texts, as well as theatre for young audiences. Nevertheless, the core of the Theatre and its company is the method of the Theatre of the oppressed. The method and techniques of the Theatre of the Oppressed were developed by Augusto Boal in Latin America in the 1970s. His goal was to draw visibility to social and political conflicts by giving a voice to marginalized groups who were facing oppression under totalitarian regimes of the time. Boal’s method is composed of six techniques including Forum Theater, Image Theater, Rainbow of Desire, Invisible Theater, Journal Theater and Legislative Theater. The main technique used is called «forum-theatre»: focusing on a contemporary issue, the company of actors creates and performs a scene with a negative outcome. The audience, through prompting from the director, is then invited to reflect on how best to resolve the onstage conflict. Audience members become « spectActors » and join the scene through confrontation and interaction with the other characters, thereby inspiring new ideas, alternatives, and a willingness to change the situation. By working together, the actors and audience find new solutions for the conflicts portrayed on stage. Each year, the stage professionals who take part in the company, create and perform a play of a contemporary author. They focus especially on performances combining theatre and music. Other projects include «forum-theatres», workshops, and training courses in different environments: prisons, schools and universities, community centres, local authorities, businesses, etc. These interventions allow the company to build and retain a new audience by making theatre more accessible to more people. Though it is based primarily in France, the company has also traveled to countries including Italy, Brazil, Palestine, Burundi, Iran, Taiwan, Morocco, Romania, Portugal, Chile, Mexico, Spain, England and Germany for both performances and workshops. Since 2010, the Théâtre de l’Opprimé’s team weekly attends the La Santé Prison in Paris and the Centre de Peine Aménagée in Villejuif (among others), to direct a Forum-Theater workshop for a group of about 12 to 25 prisoners. The company also intervenes punctually in high-security prisons in the Paris region. The theatre is used to working with prisoners using theatre to develop their creative skills and work on their personal development and behaviour to facilitate their integration to the society once they are freed. In the last 5 years Theatre De L’ Opprime has taken part in 2 Erasmus+ program. In 2018-1-IT02-KA204-048304 called “WIP – Work In Progress” and in “ATTACH – the ArT of Theatre as A second CHance” along with a number of this proposal’s partners.

Comunitatea APICCO
APICCO – Parteneriatul Artistic în Deschiderea Creativă a Comunității este o asociație social-artistică creată în 2013 și dezvoltată într-o Întreprindere Cooperativă Socială în 2017 - care vizează promovarea reabilitării grupurilor vulnerabile (deținuți și foști deținuți, persoane cu dizabilități, migranți și refugiați, șomeri, femei) (excluse de pe piața muncii, persoane fără adăpost etc.), prin creație artistică, formare și colaborare. APICCO susține expresia culturală independentă, cultura pentru schimbare socială, campaniile de conștientizare, festivalurile cu cauze sociale, inițiativele pentru integrare socială, proiectele comunitare, programele culturale și educaționale în cadrul unităților corecționale grecești și în orașele din întreaga Grecie. APICCO este alcătuită din artiști, oameni de știință și foști deținuți, cu o varietate de naționalități, vârste și medii educaționale, care împărtășesc povești, idei, emoții și viziuni. Organizația are deja un ansamblu de actori și amatori care sunt instruiți în realizarea teatrului folosind DRAMA ÎN EDUCAȚIE și alte metodologii bazate pe mediul și talentele membrilor lor. Aceștia pot performa instantaneu folosind o imagine, o intrigă, o temă, un personaj, documente istorice, un roman întreg sau o singură replică ca punct de plecare. Spectacolele „METAMORFOZIS”, „Xaska”, „Prima încercare: Tragedie” au fost create cu această metodă. Directorii și educatorii Apicco au implementat ateliere teatrale de lungă durată pentru deținuți, ofițeri corecționali, foști deținuți și studenți la educație formală/non-formală, activități de scriere creativă în închisori, programe de emancipare fizică și psihologică, beneficiind peste 2000 de persoane în ultimii 9 ani. Acest consorțiu format din 6 parteneri selectați din 4 țări europene diferite a fost format în principal pe baza nevoilor apărute pentru acest proiect și a implicării lor entuziaste în activități dramatice și teatrale în incinta închisorii în ultimii 10 (poate mai mulți) ani. Toți partenerii sunt activi în domeniul lor de activitate și dedicați sarcinilor specificate ale acestui proiect. Aceștia formează un consorțiu care are capacitatea și motivația de a stabili un proiect viabil, de a colabora în orice mod eficient pentru finalizarea acestuia și de a produce pachete de lucru tangibile pentru subiectul discret al teatrului în închisori.
