Information
has glosseng: Guerrilla theatre , or Guerrilla Performance, is a style of street theatre popularized in the mid-late 1960s, usually political in nature. Guerrilla (Spanish for "little war") describes the act of spontaneous, surprise performances in unlikely public spaces to an unsuspecting audience. Typically these performances intend to draw attention to a political/social issue through satire, protest, and carnivalesque techniques. Although the exact derivation of the term is yet to be identified, most scholars place its etymology around 1965-70, as many of these performances were a direct result of the radical social movements circa 1967-691.
