About Bertolt Brecht

Bertolt Brecht, born in 1898 in Augsburg, Germany, was a revolutionary figure in the world of theatre, renowned for his innovative approach to playwriting and directing. Coming to prominence during the Weimar Republic, Brecht's work was deeply influenced by Marxist thought, leading him to develop the concept of epic theatre and the Verfremdungseffekt, which aimed to make audiences critically engage with the performance rather than passively consume it. His collaborations with composers like Kurt Weill and Hanns Eisler resulted in iconic works such as "The Threepenny Opera," which blended dark cabaret elements with sharp social commentary. Brecht's contributions extended beyond his plays; he was also a prolific poet and a leading theoretician, shaping the course of modern theatre with his insightful writings on dramatic theory. Throughout his career, Brecht remained a committed socialist, moving from Switzerland to East Germany to align with his political beliefs. His legacy endures as a testament to his unyielding artistic vision and his commitment to using theatre as a tool for social change.
