The films, projections, cartoons, elaborate sets and machinery - here designated 'visual aids' - are shown to have a didactic function. They 'frame' the action politically, thus evolving a sophisticated new theatrical method. Comparison with Brecht's work establishes differences of emphasis in the approach to a common goal. Piscator's montage of disparate elements is seen as a vital contribution to epic theatre.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sheila McAlpine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3631431449\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783631431443\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Sheila McAlpine","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48459868307711,"sku":"9783631431443","price":117.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ad63a41c-0c23-403a-b564-7ea39219de5c.jpg?v=1777412243","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/visual-aids-in-the-productions-sheila-mcalpine-9783631431443","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
