| Summary: | The article presents PAPALANGKI Theatre Company’s methodology, which is based in a perception of the democratic function of the group: the questions result from every time needs and all members of the group are gradually encouraged to ask them during the whole process (even during performances). The answers given each time are based on the members’ experiences, previous research and structured improvisation, and they have defined the recognizable group’s aesthetics. The result is not only an open form performance, collectively created and integrating the audience’s participation, but also a new “meeting” with the theatre itself for audiences with little interest or access to traditional theatrical shows. Since 2011, PAPALANGKI Theatre Company has presented outdoor and into classroom performances mainly for teenagers, on issues such as bullying, racism, homosexuality and intersexual relations. |
