Return to "epic Theater": a Study of Brecht's Drama
by Yao Jiagan
About This Novel
Regarding Brecht's pursuit of dramatic ideals, it is necessary to analyze the intrinsic goals of his theoretical propositions from his overall conception of the stage. Brecht's drama has a grander vision beyond art, that is, to participate in the practice of transforming social patterns. Therefore, he must reform the function of drama to adapt to this social task, and use "defamiliarization" as the aesthetic principle to experiment with various stage art methods to achieve the purpose of prompting the audience to think and guide them to act. Emphasizing returning to the epic theater itself is to extract an internal expression path of "social tasks-dramatic functions-artistic means" from the dramatist's artistic activities, thereby deepening the understanding of its dramatic characteristics.
