Abstract

This article by the Theatre Arts analysis of Brecht's vision to theater theory, arrive at different results of previous studies to determine its important contribution to the "Watch Art", which not only marked the beginning of art theory who is also its theory and practice in the primary. Actors to observe, model and critical role to replace the traditional Aristotelian theater actor in the role of being the embodiment, manufacturing the atmosphere, causing the audience's melodramatic, but into the illusion of state. This innovative art of the actor with the echoes of the "watch art", the audience in the theater to develop observation and critical attitude, will produce the overall communication within the theater, take the theater, the audience not only as a reform of the social attitude, and can be maintenance of national social security. I would like to analyze Brecht's theory of theater in light of the science of theater arts . New findings confirm Brecht's most important contribution to theater has been "Zuschaukunst" . This is not only a theory on the origin of art, but also includes the basis of his theory and practice. Role observations, demonstration and critiques of actors replace the traditional Aristotelian theory of theater. In this way, the audience can identify with the actor's roles and fall into a state of illusion . This revolutionary theatrical experience is thus termed "Zuschaukunst". An intra-theatrical transaction emerges when an audience starts to observe and criticize. This attitude helps the audience reform society and preserve national security
