Abstract

By studying “The rainbow of desire: Boal method of theater and therapy”, from 1992, by the Brazilian playwright and educator Augusto Boal, we aimed to investigate the viability and relevance of this artistic and therapeutic approach for the creation of a proposal for auxiliary therapeutic groups. in the mental health treatments of Performing Arts teachers in training. In that work, three sets of techniques for approaching subjects are brought together: prospective, introspective and extroverted. And, thus, transdisciplinary discipline was carried out between artistic and psychosocial concepts in a dynamic group with theatrical games, permeated by socio-educational and artistic-therapeutic biases. In this sense, the proposed work could address the demands of the people involved, about reception needs, addressing states of anxiety and anguish, through situations of vital, interpersonal or socio-political conflicts within the scope of coexistence between class, gender and racial diversity, using Boal’s image theater.
