Description: Augusto Boal in the Abbey Theatre (Dublin) receives the 'Crossborder Award for Peace and Democracy'. April 3rd 2008. It was a great talk, amazing to see and listen to the man himself...The day before the Abbey Theatre previews The Burial at Thebes, Seamus Heaney’s version of Sophocles’ Antigone, Augusto Boal will talk about his own life as a theatre director growing up and working in times of political upheaval, military coups, censorship, imprisonment, torture, exile and return. He talks of his work with actors and the training he developed with and for them; his choice of plays which could speak through a censored time; his production of The Plough and The Stars many years ago in Brazil - his love of Shakespeare and his commitment to new writing which can speak to a people of themselves.
