About
The Théâtre de l'Opprimé hosts an interactive forum theater performance centered on LGBTQIA+ rights as part of the local Pride Festival. This artistic approach invites audience members to step onto the stage and suggest real-world solutions to the discriminatory scenarios portrayed by the actors. Each scene is performed multiple times, evolving based on public input to explore new possibilities for social change. This collaborative evening is free to attend and provides a space for dialogue and collective advocacy. The venue is fully accessible to wheelchair users and is also adapted to support individuals with cognitive disabilities.
Forum theater is a form of interactive artistic expression that allows us to dive into the heart of social issues and explore them in a dynamic and engaging way. It is an opportunity for each of us to actively participate in a crucial discussion on the rights of LGBTQIA+ people.
Together, we will seek solutions, raise public awareness, and work towards a more egalitarian and just society. We are counting on your presence and support to make this event a highlight of the "Paris 12 Pride Festival" and the "Theater of the Oppressed Together Festival". Together, we can contribute to positive and lasting change in our society. During the performance, audience members are invited to intervene on stage to suggest solutions and alternatives to resolve the problematic situations being played out. The actors perform the scenes several times, each time with a different ending based on the audience's suggestions.
Join us for this forum theater and let us commit ourselves to equal LGBTQIA+ rights!
