Today's lesson was primarily research and discussion on the practitioner, and we were split into groups and each given a question to discuss and research, and ultimately create a presentation on the topic. Our question "
How can Brecht's themes relate to today's world?", we started by discussing and pointing out the main themes of Brechtirian plays. His main themes included government oppression, fake/false leaders and people surviving in the times of these. Obviously his themes were related to the events and people of WWII (Hitler, the Nazis), and we thought of other world leaders that these themes could be applied to: Kim Jong Un, Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump.
We came up with the idea that all these leaders are very similar in the sense that they all abuse their power - leaders tend become arrogant with their position, so they'll make empty threats, and/or say but not do.
Just by looking these world leaders from present day, we could already see that Brecht's themes can absolutely relate to today's society.
