Theatre of the Oppressed QUOTES

1 " It is not the place of the theatre to show the correct path, but only to offer the means by which all possible paths may be examined. "

― Augusto Boal , Theatre of the Oppressed

2 " Theatre is the most perfect artistic form of coercion. "

― Augusto Boal , Theatre of the Oppressed

3 " Motion, according to him, is an illusion, because we can demonstrate that it does not actually exist; the same for the multiplicity of existing things, which are in his logic, a single being, infinite, eternal, unchangeable. Like Heraclitus, Parmenides too, had his radical disciple, named Zeno. The latter had the habit of telling two stories to prove the inexistence of motion. "

― Augusto Boal , Theatre of the Oppressed

4 " A person to whom the oracles had said that he was going to marry his own mother and kill his own father would have to be a little careful and abstain from killing men old enough to be his father or marrying women old enough to be his mother. "

― Augusto Boal , Theatre of the Oppressed
