杏吧原创 undergraduate and Glebe high school students will present two plays that highlight the discrimination and social oppression young people face in the Canadian social climate. The Misguided Counsel explores the subtle and overt racial discrimination that racialized Canadian youth encounter within high schools; the Rumour Mill looks at young people鈥檚 struggle to express their sexuality in a heteronormative society.
This event follows the 鈥淭heatre of the Oppressed鈥 model 鈥 a dramatic game in which a problem of social inequality, or symptom of oppression, is shown in an unsolved form. The interactive performance allows the audience to get involved to stop the oppression. At certain points, audience members will be invited to replace a character, excluding the oppressed and oppressor characters, to create a learning experience and positive outcome.
