"Us and Them" more than just a play by David Diamond

Vancouver’s award-winning Headlines Theatre presents “Us and Them” - a fun, moving, and gutsy exploration of 6 people's lives intersecting at the wall of healing after the hockey riot: how do we understand ourselves and how do we create divisions between ourselves and others?

The answers are up to the audience, who after seeing the play unfold on its own, watch it again, this time with the agency to stop the play and enter the stage and replace a character with whom they identify and change the way the story unfolds. The theatre becomes a creative rehearsal for transforming the world. 

David Diamond's "Theatre for Living arose by combining elements of Augusto Boal's Theatre of the Oppressed and the holistic approach of systems theory, said David Diamond via phone. He explained that Theatre for Living partially focuses on challenging and questioning the boundaries between the oppressor and oppressed, a topic heavily examined by Theatre of the Oppressed. It then focuses on ways of getting beyond the symptoms of oppression to the root causes of what's actually happening."
