Epic Theatre
My name is Bertolt Brecht
Epic theatre, my young friends, is a form of theatrical expression that aims to provoke critical thinking and social awareness. It encourages you to question the world around you rather than simply absorbing information. In epic theatre, we use techniques like narration, songs, and projections to distance you from the emotions of the characters, enabling you to analyze the deeper meaning of the story. We want you to engage with the issues presented on stage and reflect upon their relevance to society. Epic theatre seeks to empower you, encouraging you to become active participants in the world and agents of change.
