The challenge of this article is to explore the role of Theatre for Social Change (TfSC). Clearly, it is a very complex field of research. It is not one form of theatre but "a set of interdisciplinary and hybrid practices". It spans the participatory and professional arts sectors and the fields of arts and activism. Unlike other kinds of theatre, TfSC is a performance ensemble to raise awareness about the impact of social issues through the community engagement process. The article seeks to investigate connections between social theatre, social wellbeing and health. Few paragraphs are dedicated to the actual epidemic situation, social distance, mental health, self-care and new relations among people. Besides the work of Paulo Freire (Theatre of Oppressed), Augusto Boal (Forum Theatre), Dorothy Heathcote (Drama in Education), Theatre for Living etc. authors will present several projects and successful stories along Mediterranean, with focus on Italy, Spain and Malta.

La sfida di questo elaborato è l’esplorazione il ruolo del teatro nell’ambito del cambiamento sociale. Chiaramente, è un campo di ricerca molto complesso. Esso non è una forma di teatro ma l’insieme di pratiche ibride ed interdisciplinari. Comprende i settori delle arti partecipative e professionali e quelli delle arti e dell’attivismo. Diversamente rispetto ad altre forme teatrali il teatro per il cambiamento sociale è una performance unita per promuovere consapevolezza riguardo l’impatto di problematiche sociali attraverso il processo di coinvolgimento della comunità. L’elaborato si propone di investigare le connessioni tra teatro sociale, benessere sociale e salute. Alcuni paragrafi sono dedicati all’attuale situazione epidemica, il distanziamento sociale, la salute mentale, la cura di se stessi, e le nuove relazioni tra persone. Oltre al lavoro di Paulo Freire (Teatro dell’Oppresso), Augusto Boal (Teatro-Forum), Dorothy Heathcote (Teatro nell’Educazione), Theatre for Living ecc. gli autori presenteranno diversi progetti e storie di successo nell’area del Mediterraneo focalizzandosi su Italia, Spagna e Malta.
