IRC is a pioneer of interactive theatre in Pakistan, a form of community theatre originally developed by Augusto Boal and internationally recognized as “Theatre of the Oppressed.” IRC has adapted this model to fit the cultural and socio-economic situation in Pakistan. In this form of theatre, the audience is encouraged to participate in the play by taking the place of a character and offering an alternative solution to address a social or political error. This interactive approach fosters critical thinking and encourages behaviour change within the community. IRC has formed and trained more than 250 theatre groups, trained 2,000 theatre activists, and conducted forum/interactive theatre all over Pakistan in over 13 different languages.
