Abstract

This paper focuses on the exploration of the possibilities of theatre with a group of homeless people. Using qualitative research procedures, the experience is described through the narratives of its participants, in order to explore the educational impact of the proposal. The results tell us about its strengths to deconstruct harmful stereotypes, to understand the complexity of vulnerability and to deepen into the value of theatre as a socio-educational tool.
