Augusto Boal e o Teatro do Oprimido
The story of an unlikely friendship between a bear, Ernest, and a young mouse named Celestine. There is a world where the Bears live above ground in their cities and the rodents live below in their underground ones in mutual fear and hate. However, Celestine, an apprentice mouse dentist, finds at least momentary common cause with Ernest, a poor street Bear musician, that gets them rejected from both their respective worlds. In spite of this misfortune, the exiles find a growing friendship between themselves as their respective talents flower because of it. Despite this, their quietly profound challenge to the founding prejudices of their worlds cannot be ignored as the authorities track them down. When that happens, Ernest and Celestine must stand up for their love in the face of such bigotry and achieve the impossible. —Kenneth Chisholm (kchishol@rogers.com) In the conventional world of bears, it is not the done thing to become friends with a mouse. Nevertheless, Ernest, a big bear, who happens to also be a clown and musician, takes in Celestine, an orphan who has fled the underground world of rodents. These two solitary creatures help and comfort each other, and in doing so, disrupt the established order.
