How to resist fascism with theatre? The example (not the model) of ETP/¿Cómo resistir al fascismo con teatro? El ejemplo (no el modelo) de ETP
Saturday June 1, 2024 3:15pm - 4:45pm EDT
In this session we will discuss how ETP (la Escola de Teatro Popular or the Popular Theatre School) of Rio de Janeiro is doing grassroots work in the most impoverished areas of Rio de Janeiro. The school has groups in 8 different areas of Rio plus a feminist group that is not located in a specific territory. In most of these groups, we are in alliance with social movements that are active in those neighborhoods. Our tactics are based on the belief that, in order to change the world, spreading ideas is not enough – we need to support the construction of practices that are themselves a prefiguration of the world we want. Theatre can be one of those practices. / En esta sesión hablaremos de cómo la Escuela de Teatro Popular (La Escola de Teatro Popular, ETP) de Río de Janeiro está haciendo trabajo de base en las zonas más empobrecidas de Río de Janeiro. La escuela tiene grupos en 8 zonas diferentes de Río más un grupo feminista que no está ubicado en un territorio específico. En la mayoría de estos grupos estamos en alianza con movimientos sociales que actúan en esos barrios. Nuestras tácticas se basan en la creencia de que para cambiar el mundo no basta con difundir ideas: debemos apoyar la construcción de prácticas que son en sí mismas una prefiguración del mundo que queremos. El teatro puede ser una de esas prácticas.

This session will be presented in English, but the facilitator(s) can also answer questions in Spanish, Portuguese, and French. / Esta sesión se presentará en inglés, pero el facilitador también puede responder a preguntas en español, portugués, y francés.
