Verfremdugselffekt:A Brechtian notion also known as the alienation effect that derived from the Russian Formalist notions of making strange.The idea is to create an emotional distancing from the characters. Where the characters themselves dissolve the fourth wall that separates the thought of the performance and entertainment for enjoyment. With the audience no longer feeling invisible or unwatched,the whole idea function as a way for encouraging critical reflection on what is presented.
