To begin with, Bertolt Brecht was a German playwright, producer and poet and his interests in combining music and drama led to a collaboration with German composer Kurt Weill in The Threeepenny Opera, written in 1928.
His attitude to work and life was that you should take nothing for granted and that you should be appreciative of everything that comes your way. His main objective in Theatre was that he wanted that audience to not be emotionally engaged but for them to ask questions about events and movements that were happening on stage and he feeled as if people should examine life and society in performances not always the story.
Furthemore, he knew that by creating a fourth wall, the plays that he created would want the audience to feel as if they're watching a play, not wanting them to believe it's real. this would be the opposite to Stansilavsky's method of suspension of disbelief.
