What is playback theatre?
A world often imbued with poetry, spontaneity, openness, listening, sensitivity, non-judgment, simplicity, and respect…
Playback Theatre is a theatrical encounter where audience members can share moments or stories from their lives and see them improvised on the spot. Each scene is a humble and unpretentious reflection that strives to remain faithful to the story being told and allows the storyteller to see it in a new light.
It is a space for play that invites sharing.
This technique was developed by Jonathan Fox and Jo Salas in 1975 and is now practiced in more than sixty-five countries. Its artistic and sociological influences include community rituals, oral traditions, improvisation, music, and the firm belief that every individual has their place in the community.
