Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is Bertolt Brecht's Epic Theatre

Explanation:

Bertolt Bretch developed this type of theatre because he belived that the purpose of a play was more than just entertain people or to imitate reality. It was to present ideas and an opportunity to invite the audience to make judgments of them. He never liked melodramatic plots, emotional and shallow spetacles.

He wanted the audience to confront the play and to display the social facts of his time by critizing them. He wanted to tell the truth. To portray society, human nature as alterable, conflicts as social conflicts, and human nature as dependent upon the class to which it belongs.
