The present edition of the Transeuropa festival – Holding Spaces – is about our relation to our environment. But we have to ask the question: What is the base of this relation?

In prehistorical times Homo sapiens was the part of nature; it was our environment; we depended on it. But today our relationship has changed drastically; we have several kinds of environments, but most of them are alienated, and we hardly have any connection to them. We are disconnected from the places we want to hold.

Forum theatre was developed by the Brazilian theatre director Augusto Boal as part of the Theatre of the Oppressed. Boal aimed to help oppressed people to get a better understanding of their situation and give them a tool to change it. At this workshop, you can get a practical introduction to the method and gain experience in developing a forum theatre scene. 

Workshop leader: Péter Tasnádi-Sáhy, theatre director
