What is "epic theater"?

Epic theater is a style of performance that aims to encourage the audience to think critically about social and political issues rather than becoming emotionally absorbed in the story. It often uses techniques such as breaking the fourth wall, presenting the action in a non-linear fashion, and incorporating narration or direct address. The goal is to make the audience reflect on the themes and messages of the play, using elements like historical context and commentary to provoke thought and discussion.
