Abstract
Democracy we have is the one we can afford. Democracy is not only voting. It is not voting at all. Democracy is values such as solidarity, respecting human rights, reacting when someone exceeds their power or usurps it. What effective tools are there? What can be done to practice democracy in cases of ill will, usurpation of power, incompetence and, at times, deeply-rooted tradition? How can democracy be practiced in theatre or drama school?
