What Now For the Theatre of the Oppressed?

The conversations will be hosted by Adrian Jackson , Cardboard Citizens’ Artistic Director and translator of Augusto Boal’s work into English. The practitioners come from all over the globe – including India, Brazil, Senegal, and Israel – offering us fascinating insights into theatre’s role in responding to the crisis.
