	The Life and Lies of Bertolt Brecht
		Brecht's ready listing was sure to fuel the immense controversy that he has attracted since his early theatrical successes in the 1920s.
		Thus sterilised, Brecht is apprehended as a modern dramatist and poet worthy of careful study, and of no more particular interest except that he also happened to be political.
		Brecht's role - aside from his superb poetic ear and skill as a dramatist - was to develop a form of theatre that transcended mere illusion by committing itself to representing the social world as it was rather than as it appeared to be.

	Brecht and Company - John Fuegi
		Fuegi paints Brecht's middle-class upbringing in Augsburg, Germany as reflecting an environment of "sociopathic male violence" in which "the denigration of women is deemed wholly natural." Thus is the stage quite literally set for the young poet's future abuse of his female lovers and playwriting cohorts.
		Brecht is very much a part of this century of the charismatic, irrational yet effective Pied Piper powers that could, in the case of both Hitler and Stalin, lure tens of millions of supposedly intelligent beings to embrace their butchers.
		Brecht may well have been manipulative and selfish as a human being, but comparing this man to Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin is so ludicrous that it defies common sense.

	About Brecht
		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 then put everything in a blender--or maybe an hour-glass, which just had to be turned over every time it was empty.

		Brecht said that although he spoke extensively with grain brokers, they were not adequately able to explain the workings of the wheat market and that the grain market remained incomprehensible in standard economic and business discourse.
		Brecht did in fact return to epic theater with the advent of fascism and conditions of exile, for the learning plays were viable only in contexts where there were political groups who could perform them and an audience who could relate them to revolutionary practice.
		Brecht then refers to Korsch's critique that "the orderer would be a hindrance to the order," in reference to Korsch's belief that the Stalinist bureaucracy would prevent the development of an emancipatory socialism.

	Epic theatre of Brecht (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		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 analyzed 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.
		To encourage the audience to adopt a more critical attitude to what was happening on stage, Brecht developed his Verfremdungs-effekt ("alienation effect")--i.e., the use of anti-illusive techniques to remind the spectators that they are in a theatre watching an enactment of reality instead of reality itself.
		From his actors Brecht demanded not realism and identification with the role but an objective style of playing, to become in a sense detached observers.

		Peymann assumed his role with a commitment - like Brecht's - to producing political theater for our times, but his point of departure, his definition of what is political and what our times need, is certainly different from Brecht's.

	Zu Brecht
		Ich habe mit dem Werk Brechts immer meine Schwierigkeiten gehabt, und zwar wegen eines wie soll ich sagen selbstgewissen Reduktionismus, der seinen Gegenstand, wie einen Dauerlutscher, von allen Seiten her abhobelt, zuschleift, zuspitzt, bis das Gespenst eines Sinns den Mündern der Schauspieler, der die Gedichte Lesenden entschlüpft und dann, unrettbar, verschwindet.
		Brechts Ledermantel z.B., diese Ikone auf den Fotos, ein absichtlich schief genähtes Kleidungsstück (damit der Kragen schön abstehen konnte!), beweist mir, daß das Äußerliche, das dem literarischen Gegenstand "Aufgesetzte", Brecht sehr wichtig gewesen ist.
		Das was Brecht von den Dingen wußte, hat er ihnen in seiner Dichtung aufgezwungen, in der Ahnung, daß er es vielleicht doch nicht so ganz genau gewußt haben könnte, und daß er es den Dingen besser noch einmal und immer wieder sagen sollte, damit sie es nicht vergessen.
