Abstract
Abstract:The Theatre of the Oppressed (TO) of Tehran, established in 2008, has been one of the few groups ardently practising applied theatre despite all the ideological and governmental limitations. This essay focuses on the TO of Tehran's community projects through the lens of ethics and engagement. The nature of TO-Teh's social engagement in the context of Iran is new, yet conservative; innovative, yet cautious. This brings out the question of the ethics of community theatre:How are ethics reinterpreted and morphed in a particular social condition in which the practitioner does not feel free enough to excavate the issue at hand? Applied theatre in communities underwritten with interiorized censorship and control finds a dual function; on the one hand, the bestowed freedom serves to boost social engagement; on the other hand, this engagement is filtered by dominant social norms and decrees.
摘要:成立于2008年的德黑兰“被压迫者剧院”(Theatre of The oppression, TO)是少数几个不顾意识形态和政府限制，积极实践应用型戏剧的团体之一。本文主要从伦理和参与的角度来探讨德黑兰社区项目的目标。在伊朗的背景下，TO-Teh的社会参与性质是新的，但保守的;创新，但谨慎。这就引出了社区戏剧的伦理问题:在一个特定的社会条件下，当从业者没有足够的自由去挖掘手头的问题时，伦理是如何被重新解释和变形的?在受到内部审查和控制的社区中，应用戏剧具有双重功能;一方面，被赋予的自由有助于提高社会参与度;另一方面，这种参与又受到主流社会规范和法令的过滤。
