This book is an attempt to promote the encounter between science and art, in this case between Social Work and Research based on theatrical practice. Secondly, it is the result of a process that I have been carrying out as a social work activist and social theater activist for years. Together with the previous points, this book is the defense of a methodology rooted in social intervention as a space of encounter from learning, a space of exchange between knowledge. A humanistic methodology that uses theater as a parable to show how the social stage and the theatrical stage are the two faces of the same mirror before which to reflect ourselves as human beings. In that mirror, we find the different angles where it is also possible to reflect the condition of our tasks as social researchers, of our actions as professionals. Where to look at ourselves as social workers as a critical space of a diverse and multicolored humanity. Humanity that still struggles with the fatality of an existence against itself, facing the drama of oppression or domination in its different forms.
