The principle, a variety of <a href="/wiki/Soviet_montage_theory" title="Soviet montage theory">montage</a>, proposed by-passing the "great struggle for supremacy between words, music and production" as Brecht put it, by showing each as self-contained, independent works of art that <a href="/wiki/Gestus" title="Gestus">adopt attitudes</a> towards one another.<sup id="cite_ref-59" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-59"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>58<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1930 Brecht married Weigel; their daughter Barbara Brecht was born soon after the wedding.<sup id="cite_ref-60" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-60"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>59<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> She also became an actress and would later share the <a href="/wiki/Copyright" title="Copyright">copyrights</a> of Brecht's work with her siblings. </p><p>Brecht formed a writing collective which became prolific and very influential. <a href="/wiki/Elisabeth_Hauptmann" title="Elisabeth Hauptmann">Elisabeth Hauptmann</a>, <a href="/wiki/Margarete_Steffin" title="Margarete Steffin">Margarete Steffin</a>, Emil Burri, <a href="/wiki/Ruth_Berlau" title="Ruth Berlau">Ruth Berlau</a> and others worked with Brecht and produced the multiple <a href="/wiki/Lehrst%C3%BCcke" title="Lehrstücke">teaching plays</a>, which attempted to create a new <a href="/wiki/Dramaturgy" title="Dramaturgy">dramaturgy</a> for participants rather than passive audiences. These addressed themselves to the massive worker arts organisation that existed in Germany and Austria in the 1920s. So did Brecht's first great play, <i><a href="/wiki/Saint_Joan_of_the_Stockyards" title="Saint Joan of the Stockyards">Saint Joan of the Stockyards</a></i>, which attempts to portray the drama in financial transactions. </p><p>This collective adapted <a href="/wiki/John_Gay" title="John Gay">John Gay</a>'s <i><a href="/wiki/The_Beggar%27s_Opera" title="The Beggar&#39;s Opera">The Beggar's Opera</a></i>, with Brecht's lyrics set to music by <a href="/wiki/Kurt_Weill" title="Kurt Weill">Kurt Weill</a>. Retitled <i><a href="/wiki/The_Threepenny_Opera" title="The Threepenny Opera">The Threepenny Opera</a></i> (<i>Die Dreigroschenoper</i>) it was the biggest hit in Berlin of the 1920s and a renewing influence on the musical worldwide. One of its most famous lines underscored the hypocrisy of conventional morality imposed by the Church, working in conjunction with the established order, in the face of working-class hunger and deprivation: </p> <table> <tbody><tr> <td><div style="margin-left: 2em;" class="poem"> <p>Erst kommt das Fressen<br /> Dann kommt die Moral. </p> </div> </td> <td><div style="margin-left: 1em;" class="poem"> <p>First the grub (lit. "eating like animals, gorging")<br /> Then the morality. </p> </div> </td></tr></tbody></table> <p>The success of <i>The Threepenny Opera</i> was followed by the quickly thrown together <i>Happy End</i>. It was a personal and a commercial failure. At the time the book was purported to be by the mysterious Dorothy Lane (now known to be Elisabeth Hauptmann, Brecht's secretary and close collaborator). Brecht only claimed authorship of the song texts. Brecht would later use elements of <i>Happy End</i> as the germ for his <i>Saint Joan of the Stockyards</i>, a play that would never see the stage in Brecht's lifetime. <i>Happy End'</i>s score by Weill produced many Brecht/Weill hits like "Der Bilbao-Song" and "Surabaya-Jonny". </p><p>The masterpiece of the Brecht/Weill collaborations, <i><a href="/wiki/Rise_and_Fall_of_the_City_of_Mahagonny" title="Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny">Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny</a></i> (<i>Aufstieg und Fall der Stadt Mahagonny</i>), caused an uproar when it premiered in 1930 in Leipzig, with Nazis in the audience protesting. The <i>Mahagonny</i> opera would premier later in Berlin in 1931 as a triumphant sensation. </p><p>Brecht spent the last years of the <a href="/wiki/Weimar_Republic" title="Weimar Republic">Weimar-era</a> (1930–1933) in Berlin working with his "collective" on the <i>Lehrstücke</i>. These were a group of plays driven by morals, music and Brecht's budding epic theatre.

Never mentioned their murdered friends and comrades, mostly in the USSR. Never engaged politically during Slansky Trial in Prague. "Broken" means they experienced the lie. I accuse them of keeping silent about the crimes of Stalin's regime. They put aside the whole complex of guilt that came with communism, real communism, or Stalinism to be precise. If that was not enough, they also wrote panegyrics praising Stalin, and they did that when they already knew about all these murders and atrocities.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&amp;rft.genre=book&amp;rft.btitle=So+macht+Kommunismus+Spa%C3%9F%3A+Ulrike+Meinhof%2C+Klaus+Rainer+R%C3%B6hl+und+die+Akte+Konkret&amp;rft.pub=Wilhelm+Heyne+Verlag&amp;rft.date=2018&amp;rft.isbn=978-3-453-60450-6&amp;rft.aulast=R%C3%B6hl&amp;rft.aufirst=Bettina&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ABertolt+Brecht" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-82"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-82">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite class="citation web cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://brechtguide.library.wisc.edu/catalog/04473">"The Tsar spoke to them ... – Brecht's Works in English: A Bibliography"</a>.</cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&amp;rft.genre=unknown&amp;rft.btitle=The+Tsar+spoke+to+them+...+%E2%80%93+Brecht%27s+Works+in+English%3A+A+Bibliography&amp;rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fbrechtguide.library.wisc.edu%2Fcatalog%2F04473&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ABertolt+Brecht" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-st-83"><span class="mw-cite-backlink">^ <a href="#cite_ref-st_83-0"><sup><i><b>a</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-st_83-1"><sup><i><b>b</b></i></sup></a></span> <span class="reference-text"><a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="https://publikationen.uni-tuebingen.de/xmlui/bitstream/handle/10900/46670/pdf/Mueller_Brecht_und_Stalin.pdf">https://publikationen.uni-tuebingen.de/xmlui/bitstream/handle/10900/46670/pdf/Mueller_Brecht_und_Stalin.pdf</a> <sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="white-space:nowrap;">&#91;<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Bare_URLs" title="Wikipedia:Bare URLs"><span title="A full citation of this PDF document is required to prevent link rot.

Willett observes: "With Brecht the same <a href="/wiki/Soviet_montage_theory" title="Soviet montage theory">montage</a> technique spread to the drama, where the old <a href="/wiki/Procrustes" title="Procrustes">Procrustean</a> plot yielded to a more "<a href="/wiki/Non-Aristotelian_drama" title="Non-Aristotelian drama">epic</a>" form of narrative better able to cope with wide-ranging modern socio-economic themes. That, at least, was how Brecht theoretically justified his choice of form, and from about 1929 on he began to interpret its penchant for "<a href="/wiki/Contradiction" title="Contradiction">contradictions</a>", much as had <a href="/wiki/Sergei_Eisenstein" title="Sergei Eisenstein">Sergei Eisenstein</a>, in terms of the <a href="/wiki/Dialectic" title="Dialectic">dialectic</a>. It is fairly clear that in Brecht's case the practice came before the theory, for his actual composition of a play, with its switching around of scenes and characters, even the physical cutting up and sticking together of the typescript, shows that montage was the structural technique most natural to him.

Brooker writes that "the term 'alienation' is an inadequate and even misleading translation of Brecht's <i>Verfremdung</i>.
