A little back ground of Brecht and his work.

Because this video didn't talk about the relationship with the audience and the actors, here is my little added part. There is a distance between the audience and the actors, because of Brecht's views on theatre he wanted to show that theatre is a place for you to see something that is a real problem but on stage. So Brecht might get the actors to have some type of task to perform, while acting, like saying their own stage directions as well as their dialogue, this would distance the audience because it would disconnect the the emotion from what the actor's are saying.
