Their focus is mainly on working with s widely used method of Theatre of the Oppressed - theatre based activism, pedagogical and educational purposes, tool for promoting social justice, but it can also have therapeutic effects. Its beginning dates to the 60s of the 20th century and is attributed to Brazilian director, writer and politician Augusto Boal. The collective is using a wide range of tools in their process of making a play, such as Newspaper Theatre, Forum Theatre, Invisible Theatre and Image Theatre. One of more provocative and action taking being an upgrade to the existing techniques called Legislative Theatre. Those approaches are serving as tool of questioning the position of power in society, as well as the tool of empowerment.
