- [1] After the unrest of the late 1960s, the Latin-American theatre became increasingly politicized, and many groups under the inspiration of Enrique Buenaventura of Colombia and Augusto Boal of Brazil developed a theory and practice of theatre as a collective creation, although more recently this collective emphasis has lessened considerably.[1]
