treeseed commented on the word guerrilla theater
Guerrilla theater also called street theater is one form of guerrilla communication/communication guerrilla. Guerrilla communication refers to unconventional forms of communication and/or intervention in public events or discourse, for reasons ranging from political activism to marketing.
This form of guerrilla communication is the creation of ritual via participative public spectacle to disrupt or protest a public event or to shift the perspectives of passers-by. Another way to create such spectacle is via tactical frivolity.
