Bertolt Brecht, born Eugen Berthold Friedrich Brecht, was a German poet, actor, and actor. He was an observer from the general context of accepting the illusion in theatrical production and tried new ways to develop a better understanding of the drama. He emphasized that the audience should look at the stage and the actors with a realistic and realistic view and not as a normal world of hypocrisy. He was only 16 years old when World War I broke out - he became deeply disillusioned and began to indulge in Marxism and Dadaism. Although he had studied medicine at the university, he became very interested in books. He wrote his first play ‘Baal’ in 1918 which was produced in theaters in 1923. His encounter with the scientist and defender of the Lion Feuchtwanger in 1919 was the hope of changing his career. He worked with him on the adaptation of Christopher Marlowe's play by Edward II, which greatly encouraged his game development and professionalism. He was part of Erwin Piscator's first company dedicated to the development of "political, political, controversial, theatrical productions." He also collaborated with Kurt Weill and was influenced by Chinese theater productions. He and his wife founded the theater company 'Berliner Ensemble' during the war.
