In this article I propose to explore the possibilities of the theatre of the oppressed for working with men and masculinities. To this end, I offer a reflection on the implications of articulating both fields since the theatre of the oppressed questions the possibility of working with 'oppressors', considering that men structurally occupy a position of power and privilege in the patriarchal system. However, the reflection also aims to make visible the subordinate positions that men occupy, since there are alternative experiences to hegemonic masculinity. In order to investigate this, I share two work experiences, one with workers and the other with students, where issues such as wage labor and sexuality are addressed, respectively. The work was carried out specifically with the technique of image theatre.
