Brecht

We approached our show with a Brechting techniques throughout such as our change of mood through the shows, the deaths and killing suddenly change to a upbeat dance over the dead bodies. the non realistic touches we added to our show is what made the whole thing a brecht piece of theatre as brecht was against naturalistic theatre where the audience “hang up their brains with their hats in the cloakroom.”

Our biggest brecht inspiration was our bow at the end as in fact we did not bow, No attempt is made to put the stage (and the audience) in a trance. The audience wanted more but we didn't give them what they wanted. Someone from the audience said they thought the bow at the end was about the dead not coming back alive, the soldiers dieing in the war; this bow made the audience think thing through a lot, more than they needed which gave it a stronger ending.
