Brecht and the v effect

Arbaz Hussain

Brecht was interested in making work about Germany and the Nazi and was influenced by Chinese theatre and Karl Marx. He had his personal style. And he didn’t agree with war and made his plays about this. He wanted the audience not to be involved in just emotion he wants them to use their brains.

The v effect is he want his distance between the audience and the play and wanted to keep his audience engaged and didn’t want them to lose focus on him. He wanted an emotional investment in the characters he aimed to avoid.

His approach to theatre suits work which has a political, social or moral message.

Epic theatre (Brechtian theatre) breaks the fourth wall, the link between the actors and audience which keeps them as observers. They are active members of the theatrical experience as they are kept thinking throughout, not switching off.

The scene that I worked on with my group was working on the gibberish drill
