From Angicos to Lima: when Paulo Freira meets the baker son

Abstract

The text is a lecture given at a table with the title: “Education is an act of love, therefore an act of resistance: homage to the centenary of Paulo Freire”.A story yet to be told: when Paulo Freire, in his centenary, meets Augusto Boal, the baker's son, on his 90th birthday, we have the possibility of a dialogue in which love and courage come together as a struggle, rehearsal for the revolution of /the oppressed/os. Linked to the historical struggles of our time, with heads thinking where the feet tread, when pedagogy and theater of the oppressed open the way, we can see the horizon of the concrete utopia of a new sociability, which overcomes exploitation and oppression.
