Brechtian technique

Brechtian technique refers to a theatrical approach developed by playwright Bertolt Brecht, aimed at encouraging the audience to think critically rather than becoming emotionally absorbed. It involves methods like breaking the "4th wall," using visible stage mechanics, and presenting characters and stories in a way that reminds viewers they are watching a performance. This approach prompts reflection on social issues and prevents audiences from losing themselves in the story, fostering a sense of detachment that motivates them to consider real-world implications and potential change.
