abstract="Internationally, there is an increasing awareness of the need to include humanities in the medical curriculum. The Medical Humanities Group at the University College of Medical Sciences, Delhi, organised a series of events to explore this area. This paper describes our experience with Augusto Boal's &quot;Theatre of the Oppressed&quot; (TO). Twenty-six participants attended a 2-day workshop culminating in a &quot;forum theatre&quot;, in which the spectators are transformed from passive observers to active participants or spect-actors. The participants' responses to our workshop indicate that TO provides a multitude of experiences and addresses a wide range of learning domains. TO challenges the senses and offers a promising and enjoyable option for learning medical humanities.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
