Join the Department of Theater and Dance for a special talk by Professor Martin Revermann (University of Toronto). Brecht’s theater, both in practice and in theory, is very much a response to Naturalism. Professor Revermann will outline key aspects of this productively antagonistic relationship: What could be wrong with Naturalism? How exactly does Brecht’s theater differ from Naturalism? How does anti-Naturalism manifest itself? Can anti-Naturalism be political at all? And is there common ground after all? Many features central to Brechtian theater will be introduced, with his plays The Life of Galileo and The Good Person of Sezuan functioning as prime case studies.
