Playback theater

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Playback Theater was invented by Jonathan Fox in the USA in the 1970s .

It is an interactive theater with the special feature that the audience speaks about personal experiences or tells stories from their lives. As a result, you can watch how these are staged on stage . Using physical expression, linguistic improvisation and music, the actors implement the audience's descriptions in such a way that everyday experiences acquire a deeper meaning, beauty and mythical dimension.

Playback theater values ​​the value of personal experiences, enables people to see their lives in new ways and enhances human encounters.

There is a difference between the playback theater and the full playback theater formation , which plays well-known radio plays synchronously (and alienated comedically) to the original sound.
