Reflections on Whiteness through Conversational Theatre

Conversational theatre is a medium for facilitating dialog on race, privilege, and discrimination in Swedish society. Du Contrat Social , a performance based on Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s social contract, demonstrates how theatre can create an interactive space where audience members actively reflect on their social positioning and implicit biases. By guiding the audience through exercises that expose implicit stereotypes and encourage self-reflection, the performance fosters a unique setting for transformative learning.
