School bullying is a vulnerabilizing factor for the adolescent process, motivating impacts in the physical, psychological, social and learning environments, in which health professionals present themselves as important actors in health promotion, combat and coping with this phenomenon. The objective of the study is to describe the experience of implementing an intervention, with the Theater of the Oppressed, to combat and assist the confrontation of bullying among school adolescents, with a view to promoting health. The intervention was carried out with 136 adolescents from the 1st Year of High School of a school in Cuiabá-MT. The corpus of the experience was systematized from impressions recorded in daily notes, during the intervention, composed of theater plays and a Theater-Forum. The experience in the intervention demonstrated that the strategy assists in the approach of bullying among adolescents and can be used in an intersectoral way by the health area in schools.
