Theatre of the Oppressed

Bercy

Founded by Brazilian theater legend Augusto Boal, this intimate venue carries the torch of his "Theater of the Oppressed" with raw, politically engaged performances where audiences don't just watch, they participate. Expect unconventional plays that tackle social conflict head-on in a welcoming, cramped space where actors and spectators breathe the same air.
