This interactive theatrical event encourages students and the community to think critically about issues of gender, race, social class, age, ability and sexuality in young Canadians\u2019 lives and how to stop social oppression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When<\/strong>: Saturday, Nov. 30, 2019 at 5 p.m.

Media are invited to attend the event<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carleton undergraduate and Glebe high school students will present two plays that highlight the discrimination and social oppression young people face in Canada\u2019s social climate. I am Not my Hair <\/em>depicts the story of a young black girl who faces racially charged bullying at her school. The play It\u2019s a Boy, Remember?<\/em> shines a light to the social barriers that transgender students face when accessing public washrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The performances are based on the \u201cTheatre of the Oppressed\u201d model \u2013 a dramatic game in which a problem or symptom of oppression is shown in an unsolved form. The interactive performances invite the audience to attempt to stop the oppression and create a positive outcome by replacing an existing character \u2013 with the exception of the character being oppressed and the oppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
