		Brecht's theatrical vision turned didactic in the mid-1920s with his immersion in Marxism and his development of a social conscience.
		Brecht used this style as a tool for his politics; he felt theater was a means to confront social problems, not escape them.
		Brecht fumed against the "complete passivity" and "hypnotized effect" of conventional, Aristotelian theater, which demands the synchronicity of spectators’ emotions with those of their staged doppelgangers.

	Bertolt Brecht
		However, Brecht’s innovation in staging (as well as contemporaries Piscator, Stravinisky, Pirandello, and Claudel) brought the epic on stage, and revealed that the relationship of dramatic and epic spectator is not a duality; it is dialectic, there are dramatic aspects to epic pieces and epic aspects in drama.
		Brecht used devices such as having actors break the frame of the story, by approaching the spectators to engage them in reflective dialog, projecting dialog on the back wall, having actors hold up signs critical of their character, etc. to keep the audience from falling into a dramatic aesthetic trap of empathy (i.e.

	A Bertolt Brecht Chronology
		Brecht's leather coat, for example, this icon in the photographs, a piece of clothing deliberately sewn together crookedly (so that the collar would nicely stick out!), proves to me that appearance--that which is "put on" the literary subject matter--was very important to Brecht.
		Brecht took everything, especially much from women (which at the moment is everywhere a topic of discussion again)--women who have loved him, and who have worked on his behalf with the energy of their affection.
		Brecht's earliest work was heavily influenced by German Expressionism, but it was his preoccupation with Marxism and the idea that man and society could be intellectually analysed that led him to develop his theory of "epic theatre." Brecht believed that theatre should appeal not to the spectator's feelings but to his reason.
