DAY MANIFESTO 2011 WORLD THEATRE

Jessica Kaahwa

"The meeting today is an accurate reflection of the immense potential of theater to mobilize communities and bridging differences.

Have imagined once that the theater could be a powerful tool for peace and reconciliation?

As nations consume huge amounts of money on missions for peace in areas of the world in violent conflict, lends little attention to the theater as an alternative to individual transformation and conflict management. How can citizens of Mother Earth to achieve universal peace as the instruments used to them coming from outside powers and apparently repressors?

Theatre subtly permeates the human soul gripped by fear and suspicion, altering the image they have of themselves and opening up a world of alternatives for the individual and therefore for the community. Can give meaning to daily realities while preventing an uncertain future. You can take part in politics in ways simple, direct. To be inclusive, the theater may have experience capable of transcending common misconceptions. In addition, the theater is a proven means to advocate and introduce ideas that we hold collectively, and why we want to fight when they are violated. Anticipating a peaceful future, we must begin to use peaceful means to seek to understand, respect and recognize the contributions of each individual in the process of conducting peace. The theater is the universal language by which we can send messages of peace and reconciliation. Actively involving the participants, the theater can deconstruct preconceptions that many souls, and thus gives the individual the opportunity to be reborn to make choices based on knowledge and facts rediscovered. To make the deal succeed and other art forms, we must take a strong step forward to incorporate into everyday life trying to pressing issues of conflict and peace.

Looking

social transformation and reform communities, the theater exists in war-torn areas and among people who suffer from poverty or chronic illness. There is a growing number of success stories where the theater has managed to mobilize audiences to build awareness and assist victims of post-war trauma. Cultural platforms such as the International Theatre Institute, which aims to "consolidate peace and friendship among nations" and have no existence. It is then a sham to keep quiet in times like ours, knowing the power of theater, and let carriers weapons and bomb triggers are the guardians of peace in our world. How can the tools of alienation also be instruments of peace and reconciliation?

urges them in this World Theatre Day to think of this perspective and to advance the theater as a universal tool for dialogue, social change and reform. While United Nations colossal sums spent on peacekeeping missions around the world through the use of weapons, an alternative theater is spontaneous, humane, less expensive and more powerful. It may not be the only answer to bring peace, but the theater should probably be incorporated as a effective tool in peace missions. "
