Deceased Bertolt Brecht Books
Bertolt Brecht was a pivotal German poet, playwright, and theatre director, whose contributions to dramaturgy and theatrical production have left an indelible mark on 20th-century theatre. He developed the theory and practice of 'epic theatre,' transforming the stage into a forum for political ideas and forging a critical aesthetic rooted in dialectical materialism. Brecht's modernist realism artfully blended popular themes with avant-garde formal experimentation, standing in sharp contrast to other dramatic approaches. His collaborative methods and innovative techniques continue to profoundly influence theatre and film practitioners globally.
