Description: Ca n t h e a t r e m a k e a d i f f e r e n c e , and if so, how? The research on which this essay was partly based intended to show how discrete moments of engaging young people through theatre can catalyse them into questioning gendered assumptions which drive mythologies, stigmas, and prejudices relating to HIV. This is based on my belief as a practitioner that applied-theatre approaches can create potentially transgressive spaces, a series of artistic transformations, where questions about entrenched stories and identities can be asked – particularly about what it might mean to be a man or a woman in an age of HIV. Jonothan Neelands has framed the overriding, nagging question I have: “What is more difficult to know is whether these artistic transformations can be said to also affect the broader socio-cultural domain.
