Power of Resistance: A Workshop that Transforms Theatre into Action
On July 3, 2026, a free theatre workshop for women opens at freiLand Potsdam, providing space for body, voice, and posture. The format follows the method of the Theatre of the Oppressed, developed by Augusto Boal, which combines theatre, bodywork, and dialogue to creatively explore personal and societal experiences.

When Stage Becomes a Resonance Space
This is not about quiet observation from the back row, but about an immediate stage experience: scenes are not only played but also questioned, turned, and thought further. The Theatre of the Oppressed opens a space where oppression becomes visible and options for action grow. This is precisely where its power lies: from observation comes participation, from uncertainty comes movement.

Augusto Boal's Method and its Political Breath
The dramaturgical idea is as clear as it is effective. Boal's approach aims at empowerment: participants explore conflicts, power relations, and new perspectives rather than merely naming them. In the workshop with Eva Gloria Fernandez Perez, a trainer of TdU, this theatrical practice is experienced as lively research. Audience reactions arise in the process itself because every gesture, every scene, and every shift in perspective reveals a new interpretation of reality.

freiLand Potsdam as a Suitable Venue
The freiLand at Friedrich-Engels-Straße 22 is anchored as a cultural space with a theatre room, seminar rooms, and diverse projects. For a participative format like this, the address offers the right theatrical atmosphere: close, open, communal, without distance between the stage and everyday life. The journey is also provided for by car and public transport according to the event page; the event is free of charge.

What Visitors Can Expect
This workshop is aimed at women who want to experience theatre not just as an audience but as a tool for expression. Expect bodywork, dialogue, joint experimentation with scenes, and focused work on social questions. The outcome is not a classic performance evening, but an intense theatre workshop with political impact. Those who engage with this form will experience an artistic laboratory full of presence, responsibility, and open possibilities.

Conclusion: The Power of Resistance connects theatre art, empowerment, and social reflection into an inspiring workshop in Potsdam.
