Democratization of art and promotion of critical thinking
To preserve and promote the legacy of Augusto Boal
The School of Popular Theater believes that theater can not only represent the world but also actively transform it through the creation of grassroots organizations. The School currently has 150 members, divided into eight groups (or “nuclei”) across Rio de Janeiro.
Through the work carried out in its centers, the school targets residents of communities and peripheral areas, as well as human rights activists. The funds raised will be used for the maintenance and multiplication of these groups.
