Print Renowned German playwright-poet Bertolt Brecht stressed social humanism, dialecticism and value of labour in his life, poems, plays and philosophy, argued writer Prof K Phaniraj.
Delivering a special lecture on Bertolt Brecht on the eve of the World Theatre Day, under the auspices Gandhian Centre for Philosophical Arts and Sciences (GCPAS), MAHE. Prof. Phaniraj said Brecht lived during the most significant times in Weimer Republic (Germany) – both politically and artistically- in the first half of 20th century. He was influenced by the progressive movements of his times.
He was specifically influenced by Dadaism and Marxism, Karl Valentin and Charlie Chaplin, films such as Gold Rush and Battleship Potemkin. He adopted the “montage” style of film making (of Eisenstein) into theatre. He developed ‘montage’ style into an ‘epic theatre’, breaking conventional Aristotelian dramatic structure.
Citing many examples of Brecht’s poems and plays (such as Galileo and Mother Courage), Prof Phaniraj said his social humanism i.e. the idea of the collective as against individualism, dialecticism as a way of progress and value of labour as the basic value of life, defined his philosophy.
The GCPAS Head Prof Varadesh Hiregange said Brecht is more significant in contemporary times. Ms Aparna Parameswaran compered the programme.
