“We are all actors: being a citizen is not living in society, it is changing it.”
What this quote means
Boal redefines citizenship: it's not just living together, but acting to improve society. We are all actors, capable of influencing our environment. This thought encourages civic engagement and collective responsibility. It applies when you feel like a spectator in political life: it's time to step onto the stage and play your role as an active citizen.
How to apply it daily
Get involved in a local association or civic project working for concrete change in your city.
