Epic Theater

Epic Theater is a theatrical movement, primarily developed by German playwright Bertolt Brecht in the early 20th century. It aims to provoke critical thought rather than emotional immersion in the story. By using techniques like direct address, the breaking of the fourth wall, and songs, it encourages audiences to question societal issues and reflect on the world around them. Instead of becoming emotionally attached to characters, viewers are prompted to think analytically about the issues presented, fostering a sense of social responsibility and awareness.
