What is "playback theater"?
Playback theater is a style of improvisational theater where audience members share personal stories, and actors then spontaneously recreate those stories on stage. The performance involves a combination of storytelling, acting, and audience interaction. Actors use their creativity and improvisational skills to bring the shared stories to life, often incorporating elements of humor, drama, and emotional depth. The goal of playback theater is to create a meaningful connection between the performers and the audience, offering a reflective and engaging experience that highlights personal experiences and collective emotions.
