The concept of Active Aging, advocated by the World Health Organization and propagated by media and academic discourses, carries a certain subjectivity about aging that, in our view, needs to be reevaluated. With prescriptions on what would be a successful aging, idealize the elderly model and discard dissent and singularities. In this paper, we present a theater experience aimed at older people who want to contribute reflections on this concept and suggest original ways of thinking and living old age.
