“Resilient voices: half a century of stories.”

The theme chosen for the European Playback Theater Gathering will be “Resilient Voices: Half a Century of Stories”.With this title the intention is to highlight two aspects.

In the first place, the importance of those resilient voices that learn from adversity and from their own capacity to overcome, and then transform pain into opportunities to change their own lives.From there, words act as a balm that can guide individual, group and community thinking, feeling and doing.

Secondly, with ‘half a century of stories‘ we want to honor and pay homage to the 50 years since the creation of the Playback Theater, and within it, to all the collective and community constructions that have been developed through local, national, world meetings, and also European meetings that allowed us to meet.And by focusing on the chronological perspective of the cycle achieved, to promote the celebration of the stories that have been told and represented in them.
