Teatro para la transformacion social: Herramientas pedagógicas. Tomo 3

Medellín: Corporación Jurídica Libertad (CJL); Asociación de Cooperación para el Desarrollo (AGEH) (2011), 93 pp.

"Desde hace más de seis años la Corporación Jurídica Libertad incorporó a su quehacer la atención de víctimas de crímenes de Estado como uno de sus propósitos estratégicos a ser desarrollado en el mediano y largo plazo. Reconocemos que el trabajo de representación de víctimas, y sobre to ... do el de motivación para la articulación a procesos organizativos sociales y populares, no ha sido fácil, en tanto los derechos a la verdad, la justicia y la reparación en una sociedad como la nuestra se encuentran lejos de ser garantizados desde una dimensión integral [...] Para el mantenimiento y fortalecimiento de esta apuesta, con copartes alemanas del Servicio Civil para la Paz y AGEH, hace ya casi tres años, bajo la tutela y responsabilidad de la directora y profesora de teatro Inge Kleutgens adelantamos una propuesta en teatro-pedagogía con el propósito de fincar un apoyo sicopedagógico a las víctimas y motivar su inclusión y la motivación propia y directa de sus derechos por medio de la expresión artística, posibilitada por la actuación a través del teatro. Durante este tiempo se han puesto en escena siete obras de teatro: “Bingo me gané”, “Ausente”, “La Madre”, “Pueblo del Barro”, “Sí o no”, “Más que conciencia” y “Cinco minutos” como uno de los productos paridos por el diplomado “Teatro-pedagogía para la paz y la transformación social”. Todas estas obras han contado con la participación de actores y actrices no profesionales, provenientes de las organizaciones sociales, populares y de víctimas presentes en la ciudad de Medellín y de algunas subregiones del departamento de Antioquia. Ahora nos corresponde presentar el producto de un proceso iniciado apenas seis meses atrás con el diplomado “Teatro-pedagogía para la paz y la transformación social”, contenido en el libro “Teatro para la transformación social”, en el cual se explica la importancia del teatro en la construcción de resistencia a la opresión teniendo como hilo conductor a la teatro-pedagogía. El teatro, en palabras de Inge constituye una expresión artística puesta al servicio de los demás y por sobre todo de los procesos de resistencia y de trasformación de las relaciones sociales imperantes."
