ACHIEVING EXCELLENCE WORKING WITH VULNERABLE PEOPLE

Theatre of Yes is a methodology used to engage vulnerable groups in dramatic work. Developed by Marina Pallarès-Elias during their last years collaborating with educational and cultural partners around the world, this technique attempts to strike a balance between the social relevance of the dramatic content and the high quality of the performance.

Instead of creating a pamphlet piece designed to intellectually inform the audience about oppressive circumstances, Marina proposes the enactment of an emotional piece showcasing – often hidden, untold or overlooked – personal stories, the performance of which is intended to spark collective catharsis in both the performers and the spectators.
