I just finished a videogame called "Pathologic 2", by russian developers which is so unlike anything I have played before. The whole game is framed as a stageplay, constantly both immersing you in its world and forcefully pulling you out of it. A critic of the game mentioned Brechts ideas and it's insanely fascinating to see these concepts reworked in a different medium. These videos do a great job at helping me understand what the game did and why it did it, so thank you very much for this.
It’s a shame an otherwise interesting discussion is marred by the typically flat, one dimensional dismissal of the political aspect of the work, on the one hand rightly saying Brecht is inviting us to challenge our preconceived notions of things, and on the other, dismissing the political aspect of the scene wherein the confrontation within the community is solved democratically via the soviets as “not reflecting reality, so we just ignore it”, which is so absurd in this context. Firstly, challenge the given truths you have received growing up in the west, secondly, don’t dismiss it and ignore it because it conflicts with your incredibly one dimensional, flattening lens thru which the west so casually views the complexities of the Soviet Union and communism, leading to incredible oversights and neglect of an incredibly diverse, compelling and complicated project of human progress, that had plenty to admire and explore than the pathetic dismissals and ignoring we now give whenever it’s brought up
I found a lot of this bollocks. I realise that Brecht wanted to get away from escapist theatre and good for him but we react how we react, a playwright surely cannot dictate to us how we're meant to react. The Idea that we shld laugh because a character cannot see a way out of grief etc can put his plays into the realms of farce.... "why doesn't he tell his wife where he was?" etc etc. I love Brecht but I feel they work in spite of his theories.

Answer: because academia still likes anti-art and Marx, so they naturally love the combination.
