Theather-Forum Play

Forum Theater is a non-formal educational method that can be used for trying to solve different problems in the community. The idea that spect-actors (people who are watching the performance of forum theater) are active, they can interfere, change the play, replacing characters who are not behaving in a good way. Although they can not change the abuser, they can change the victim or people who are neutral personages in the problematic situation.

We had a forum theater performance about violence at Mircea cel Batran School. We collaborated with the police, the police-officer Bianca talked to students about violence and methods to prevent it. We showed the typical problematic situations in couple relationship, when one person doesn’t respect the other and doesn’t react on his or her needs.
