RIP Augusto Boal

I just heard that Augusto Boal died in May. Boal founded the Theatre of the Oppressed, a form of radical participitory theatre that sought to empower by questioning existing power structures. Boal was hugely influential and I recommend picking up his books if you are in any way interested in culture, politics, activism or theatre: Theatre of the Oppressed, Games For Actors and Non-Actors and The Rainbow of Desire: The Boal Method of Theatre and Therapy.
