Advising Without the Element of Advice: Exploring the Application of Educational Theater for Adult Audiences in Iran through Deconstruction

Abstract

Educational theater has been widely used internationally to teach various topics to young students in schools through performance and theater. This study raises a question about this medium: what would be the dos and don’ts of utilizing educational theater in Iran for an adult audience instead of young students? Drawing on the ideas of influential thinkers and philosophers such as Augusto Boal, Jacques Derrida, and Walter Benjamin, this research employs deconstruction to analyze conventional concepts of education and thought processes. By doing so, it seeks to propose a new perspective on the subject and outline the dos and don’ts for implementing such theater in Iran. This study aims to explore the potential of educational theater for adult audiences.
