Maatschappij Discordia - Bevreemdende Brecht

Strange Brecht

This could be an occasion for a performance about the work of this twentieth-century theatre innovator. If it were not that the makers could not have wished for a better playwright at this moment of sharp contrasts and cry for clarity and that they were already looking for this collection.

In Bevreemdende Brecht Maatschappij Discordia investigates the invention of the Verfremdungseffekt. How did he, or actually 'she', because he of course did not do it alone, but they will come back to that in the performance, come to this, what were the circumstances under which this new and still effective way of telling stories came about.
