Bertolt Brecht aimed for theatre to be a platform for social and political critique, encouraging audiences to think critically about the world around them. He developed the concept of "epic theatre," which sought to provoke rational thought rather than emotional engagement, using techniques like alienation to create distance between the audience and the performance. Brecht believed that theatre should inspire action and change, challenging societal norms and injustices. Ultimately, he wanted theatre to serve as a tool for education and transformation.
