Abstract

Abstract: In this article we present Brecht's reflections on the epic and pedagogical theater and some of his experiments in cinema. Such reflections refer to the importance of theater as a place of learning for Brecht and alongside that, how cinema may or may not be conducive to public education. We used Benjamin's reflections on cinema in order to draw a parallel between his conceptions and Brecht's on the learning provided by cinema. Secondly, we present Brecht's arguments for returning to the theater and how his ideas and practices will influence both the cinema and the theater, and it is often difficult to perceive his influence, as well as his way of acting in the different arts
