@article{2018,title={AN ANALYSIS OF MUSIC IN EPIC THEATRE IN BERTOLT BRECHT’S APPROACH},abstractNode={The great German author and theoretician Bertolt Brecht emerged in the late 1920s with a completely different understanding of theater from the traditional Aristotelian theater and the leading trends of the 20th century in terms of theories and practices. In this new approach called epic theatre Brecht, has used music in an effective manner and in a completely different way from previous classical stage music understanding. Instead of a passive identification, Brecht wants the audience to be a critical observer. For this purpose, he refers to alienation methods and techniques and music also plays a role for this purpose. Being an important part of the structure with other elements such as décor, costume, light, choreography, acting, etc., music does not necessarily lend with those other elements. In this article, the use of music in the Epic Theater was analyzed in the light of Brecht's methods.},author={Çiğdem ERKEN},year={2018},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
