A PLAYBACK THEATRE PERFORMANCE ABOUT PRIDE AND COMMUNITY

Playback Theatre Vox invites you to an open performance during Helsinki Pride Week at Pride House. The theme of the performance is pride and community.

Playback theatre is a spontaneous, community-based form of improvisational theatre and applied drama. In each performance, a team consisting of a conductor, actors, and a musician brings real stories shared by the audience to life on stage using various playback theatre techniques. The conductor supports the audience in sharing their experiences, thoughts, and emotions through interviews and may also facilitate conversation among audience members.

Because playback theatre is based on stories shared live by the audience, it can give a voice to those who are often unheard in society. It offers a rare opportunity for storytellers to be truly listened to — without interruption.

Playback theatre helps communities surface both joys and concerns, making them visible and open to reflection. Shared stories foster mutual understanding within the community and encourage dialogue between different perspectives. At their core, these stories reveal what connects us all: our humanity.

Playback Theatre Vox is a group of professional theatre artists specializing in playback theatre.
