Community theatre is established as an important educational and social tool, going beyond artistic expression to function as a space for learning and transformation. Theatrical practice in community contexts enables participants to develop critical awareness, strengthen collective bonds, and reclaim their cultural identities. More than a space for performance, theatre becomes a means of narrating stories, exposing inequalities, and reaffirming popular culture.
This article analyzes the role of community theatre in the educational process, with emphasis on mediation as a pedagogical practice and on the strengthening of cultural identity and social resistance. Grounded in theorists such as Paulo Freire and Augusto Boal, the study demonstrates how this form of theatre contributes to the construction of subjectivities and to social mobilization, highlighting its potential in the struggle against exclusion and marginalization.
Key-words: Community theatre; Mediation; Educational process; Identity.
