Bertold Brecht

Bertolt Brecht was a German playwright and poet known for developing a theatrical style called "epic theatre." He sought to engage audiences critically rather than emotionally, encouraging them to think about social and political issues. Brecht's works often included techniques like breaking the fourth wall, using narration, and incorporating songs. His notable plays include "Mother Courage and Her Children" and "The Threepenny Opera." Through his art, Brecht aimed to provoke thought and inspire social change, reflecting his Marxist beliefs and commitment to addressing inequality and injustice in society.
