Theory of the epic theater

The publication of theoretical works of the largest theater director and reformer of the theater B. Brecht allows you to holistically understand the system of the epic theater of Brecht, its meanings and principles. The task of the theater is to prove to a person the opportunity and the need to change the world. Brecht borrows free construction at the epic, rejection of solid and unified action. At the beginning of the play, Brecht sets the thesis, which is then confirmed by the development of action. Brecht builds action as the installation of episodes that are not related to each other. Each episode is independent. From the clash of episodes and the thought, the act of man should be born. In man, Brecht is interested in the act and work of thought, but not emotions, which, according to Brecht, impede the birth of thoughts. The Brecht Theater is a teacher, a preacher awakening in a person activity, the need to change the world in which a person lives. The basic provisions of the theater theory of Brecht are widely used in modern theatrical and film director, and are becoming more and more significant over time.
