What are characteristics of epic theater?

Epic theater, developed by Bertolt Brecht, is characterized by its aim to provoke critical thinking rather than emotional engagement. It employs techniques such as alienation effects, where the audience is reminded they are watching a performance, to disrupt immersion and encourage reflection on social and political issues.
