A great person!




He was a German Marxist poet, playwright, and theatre director. He was born in 10 February 1898 Augsburg, Bavaria, German Empire, and he died in 14 August 1956 East Berlin, East Germany. He had a lot of good work. For example, Life of Galileo, and The Good Person of Szechwan. He had two wifes and 4 kids. He remained a lifelong committed Marxist who. Brecht thought that the experience of a climactic catharsis of emotion left an audience complacent. Instead, he wanted his audiences to adopt a critical perspective in order to recognise social injustice and exploitation and to be moved to go forth from the theatre and effect change in the world outside. He also change a lot of things in the theatre. He created Verfremdung seffekt, and he put the German, Chinese, and Japanese theatre together. He got reward from his country in 1951, and he get a peace reward in 1955. Verfremdung seffekt is a way for actor to act a character, which said actor should keep distance with character, and they should higher than the character and act it. There were some people did not like him, so they tried to stop built the museum of him. I hope I can watch one of his theatre!
