Brecht's Epic Theater

Brecht's Epic Theater is a method designed to encourage critical thinking rather than emotional escapism. It aims to remind audiences they are watching a play, prompting them to reflect on social issues and consider change. Techniques include breaking the fourth wall, using visible stage elements, and presenting stories in a way that highlights their social and political themes. The goal is to foster awareness and inspire viewers to question and challenge injustices, rather than simply becoming emotionally absorbed or being entertained passively.
