Epic Theatre of Bertolt Brecht for Audience to be Active and Critical for Social and Intellectual Transformation: A Marxist Perspective.

Author(s) Dr. VENKATESHA P
Country India
Abstract Of all living beings in the world man is superior and dignified in all respects. Such a man is not living alone but in group: society of human beings. Such a society is not permanently same but differs from in various ways and ever changing on time factors, geographical factors, intellectual factors, etc., It is the base or ground concept to know about the societal change for long years. It can be understood from the point of dramatic theatre or technique. In this respect Bertolt Brecht is the champion to use his ground breaking concept Epic Theatre. This concept of Epic theatricality made him a famous playwright, poet, and theatrical director. Brecht applies the concept of Alienation Effect, for the purpose of this task in his epic theatre. His goal was to make the spectators feel emotionally detached from the characters onstage and to be active and critical thinkers. So, the goal of his theatre was to provoke critical thinking in the audience about the political and social concerns it raised, rather than to have the audience emotionally present. Critical engagement, social and historical context, political didacticism, and new theatrical techniques were the defining features of Bertolt Brecht's Epic Theatre. His intention is to promote consciousness, encouraging analysis, and lobbying for societal and political change and tried to fulfil an appetite of intellectual transformation. This paper tries to unravel all these in a Marxian approach that will help the interested audience/readers to know the intention of Bertolt Brecht.
Keywords Didacticism, Alienation Effect, Epic Theatre, Criticality.
