Educational Play - Lehrstück (English: Lehrstück) [Germany]

Japanese: 教育劇 - きょういくげき（英語表記）Lehrstück[ドイツ]

This is the name given to a series of plays that Brecht attempted around 1930. It does not refer to plays that educate the audience. Here, the traditional theatrical distinction between performers and viewers is eliminated, and theater is envisioned as a forum for everyone to participate and discuss the theme that has been performed, so that the audience, who were traditionally art consumers, also become performers (art producers). Performers then learn by performing. The world economic crisis of 1929 brought a recession to the theater world, but on the other hand, against the backdrop of the times's clash between the left and the right, it gave birth to the workers' theater movement.

ブレヒトが1930年前後に試みた一連の自作の戯曲につけた名称。観客を教育する劇という意味はない。ここでは，演ずる者と見る者という従来の演劇の区別を廃し，全員が参加者として演じられたテーマを討論する場としての演劇が想定されているから，従来は芸術消費者だった観客も上演者(芸術生産者)になる。そして上演する者は，演ずることによって学ぶ。1929年の世界経済危機は，演劇界にも不況をもたらしたが，他方では左右激突の時代状況を背景に，労働者演劇運動を生んだ。
