Theatre and Peacebuilding: Arts and Politics

This trailer of a larger project directed by Allison Lund explores the use of theatre as a medium through which people work together to heal community and peace build. It reflects international projects by artists and theatre directors in Cambodia, Australia, Argentina and Uganda. These are new forms of theatre created by people within a community. It raises artistic and peacebuilding dilemmas such as can theatre be used for political purposes and, in doing so, is the aesthetic quality compromised as there is little time to digest the process?

This video, and the projects it portrays is inspiring.
