Many of the theatrical devices first used in "epic theater" have become integrated into theater in general. Epic theater was the first movement to experiment in-depth with the use of technology like film, and Brecht, the most famous practitioner of "epic theater" often used placards to introduce the action of a scene. This is also common in many different genres. Most importantly, the "epic theater" was the first major movement after Stanislavski to seriously go against realism and method acting without freaking out and becoming something crazy like Dadaism or futurism. It also influenced, and was itself influenced by, Propaganda and agitation, particularly in Soviet Russia.

How and in what context is the word 'epic' used in form and content of 'epic theater'?

Epic theater, also known as theater of alienation or theater of politics, is a theater movement arising in the early to mid-20th century, inextricably linked to the German playwright Bertolt Brecht. Though many of the concepts involved in epic theater had been around for years, even centuries, Brecht unified them, developed the style, and popularized it. It is sometimes referred to as Brechtian acting, although its principles apply equally to the writing and production of plays. Brecht later favored the term 'dialectic theater', to emphasize the element of argument and discussion.
