Original goals of the Theatre of the Oppressed:
- Newspaper theatre-- dealing with local problems
- Forum theatre-- part of a literacy program
- Invisible theatre-- political activity
- Image theatre-- establishing dialogue
- Rainbow of Desire-- understanding psychological problems
- Legislative theatre-- transforming Desire into Law
Boal discovered that these forms can be used around the world because theatre is simply "human language." Theatre of the Oppressed is a balance between Discipline and Freedom in the Game of Dialogue.
"Without discipline, there is no social life; without freedom, there is no life."
