Beautiful Trouble

Perhaps the book will explain the "tactics" and "theories" better and deeper then the short paragraph. The "anger" part speaks the truth and give a reasonable description that when people need to fight for right, aggressive emotion is a good motivation to start, but keep clear head and knows what's to take  and demand is the core. Like it says:"find a sweet spot between those two". Apply to Cuba and US, "anger" is never a problem, but how to unit the people and use our anger is the issue. Just like books says,"They were all wearing suits, they stood as one, and their discipline clearly communicated", this unity and clear head is what distinguish between power and hot mass.

The tactic part for me is just a really general text, no much useful information. As we all know, make people aware and knowledge what's happening need to be creative. For me, this is a common sense, if  I read a book about revolution tactic I would rather to know the ways than telling me "need to be creative". Just like if a person get sick, a doctor only telling him or her to take medicine, but don't say what kind of medicine they need. (Of course we know we need to take medicine).

But it raise a interesting point, in this content, theater seems to be used as a tool to do the political leafleting. Do we see theater as an art form that convey political message, or as a political tool that being a speaker for politicians.  I am ok with both ways, it's just seems a lot of the theater art, we call"political theater" mislead by this concept. Is it a political action just like giving a speech(well, in a creative way), or as a theater piece that can stand itself.
