Talk:Guerrilla communication

--68.78.78.12 19:11, 10 August 2006 (UTC)I removed the reference to Augusto Boal's supposed use of Guerilla Theatre, as any student of his theories will tell you, the inclusion of the observer as a part of the performance is the main point of his theatrical theories. When he mentions Guerilla Theatre in his more well known writing, Theatre of the Oppressed, he states that his Invisible Theatre, "is not the same thing as a 'happening' or the so-called 'guerilla theatre'. In the latter we are clearly talking about 'theatre', and therefore the wall that separates actors from spectators immediately arises, reducing the spectator to impotence..." So here he not only distinguished his concept of his Invisible Theatre from Guerilla Theatre, but in his definition of Guerilla Theatre, he explains how it is antithetical to his own ideas and theories on theatre.
