Abstract
This study explores the adaptation of Brechtian drama techniques within Chinese theatrical, specifically examining how cultural values, social structures, and historical narratives are infused with Brecht’s methods to create a localized theatrical language. Through analysis of specific adaptations and performances, this research highlights how Brecht’s concepts of alienation and social critique align with Chinese cultural frameworks, offering fresh insights into the dynamics of contemporary Chinese theater. This localization process not only enriches the understanding of Brecht’s methodologies but also contributes to a distinct Chinese theatrical identity that addresses modern societal issues.
