19 Augusto Boal, Theater of The Oppressed, Ä spanyolcadan çev:: Charles A.& M. L. Mc Bride, London, Pluto Press, 1993 (4th ed.), s. 155 Summary: This article investigates the relationship between the pedagogy and the poetics of the oppressed. Paulo Freire in his “Pedagogy of the Oppressed” and Augusto Boal in his “Theater of the Oppressed” both attemps to change people –objects, namely students and spectators who are passive beings in the most accepted educational and theatrical systems- into subjects, that is, actors and transformers of the social or dramatic action. The pedagogy and the poetics of the oppressed is essentially the pedagogy and poetics of the liberation. The students or spectators in the Freire and Boal‟s models become or turn into student-teachers and spect-actors. In the process of “problem focused education” they free themselves; think and act for themselves by training their own solutions in dynamic action; in short, they train themselves for real action. “In this case”, as Boal mentioned in his book, “perhaps the theater (or education) is not revalutionary in itself, but it is surely a rehearsal for the revolution”.
