Abstract
This research delves into the intersection of history education and ethnotheater, with a specific focus on the Lebanese Civil War. The study aims to fill the gap left by the absence of a comprehensive written historical narrative of the conflict by drawing from diverse artistic artifacts and conflicting historical views.
The study introduces an interdisciplinary approach, shifting away from traditional rote learning. It explores how theater devising can effectively convey historical events, fostering empathy and critical thinking skills among students. By engaging with underrepresented voices, the research advocates for a more holistic understanding of history, challenging dominant narratives and encouraging students to approach the past with a critical lens.
In summary, this study bridges the gap between history and theater education, emphasizing the importance of ethnotheater in shaping informed and empathetic learners.
