Guerilla Theatre
Guerilla Theatre (or Street Theater)
The concept
Henry Lesnick (1973) has broadly defined this theatrical form as "a radical political theater performed in the streets, in the schools, in shopping centers, outside plant gate - anywhere people gather."
Often simply a version of what is widely known as Street Theatre, the form is sometimes also referred to as Guerilla Street Theatre or, in America, Guerilla Street Theater.
