    Playback is an original form of improvisational theatre.

    Within the structure of a ritual framework, the performance is spontaneous - it is theatre created through a unique collaboration between performers and audience. Someone tells a story or moment from their life, chooses actors to play the different roles, then watches as their story is immediately recreated and given artistic shape. Many artistic variations are possible within the clear ritual structure and rhythm of a performance event.

    Authenticity in the spontaneous moment underlies Playback theatre practice. Playback Theatre aims to create a ritual space where every voice and any story - however ordinary, extraordinary, hidden or difficult - might be heard and told. It is a place where each person´s uniqueness is honored while at the same time building and strengthening our connections to each other as a community of people.
     

    Since 1975, Playback has spread all over the world, and is now practiced in many different countries, languages and contexts. It thrives in a variety of settings, existing as community theatre gatherings as well as a professional service to both the business and social sectors.
