Abstract

This research article is part of the research project, Creating an Applied Theatre Production for Building Awareness of the Children Rights in the Stateless Youth and their Migrant Parents from Myanmar in Mahachai District, Samutsakorn Province, Thailand. The writer presents data of which the research team did an action research creating a theatre project with a stateless youth in Mahachai district. The applied theatre process of Mahasamut Sut Kob Fun enables the youth to recognize what is lacking in their life, which are their basic rights. The rehearsing and performing process makes the youth learn to look at their inborn problems in a positive way so the youth will not give up with their life and gain resilient qualities in their living in order to live their life with goal and self-actualization.
