Abstract

Seeking to transform the realities of oppression, education and theater have found, from their popular character, mechanisms for appropriation and action with political commitment. Popular theater is a liberating educational practice linked to the realities where it originates, appeals to genuine participation, and transfigures scenic and pedagogical actions into learning experiences. This article constitutes a systematic review of research experiences on education, and popular theater, which took place in Latin America in the last twenty years. The objective was to identify the links built between these two fields and critically interpret concrete practices. This systematization responds to a review methodology structured in five phases. The results show the fields where popular theater has a meaning of a pertinent and relevant pedagogical strategy; the pedagogical characteristics attributed to it; how the transitivity of the educator-educator relations occurs during their practice; and in what way they contribute to the critical reading of contemporary realities of oppression. This article aims to claim the importance of the systematization of experiences as a methodical and political action that contributes to the generation of theoretical knowledge from the practice, in this case, of popular educational research.
