All three options are associated with Bertolt Brecht's Epic Theatre. Creating "alienation" refers to distancing the audience from the action of the play so that they do not become too emotionally involved and can instead engage critically. The interplay of theatrical elements refers to the use of various elements such as music, lighting, and set design to convey meaning and make their own statement. The use of fragmented scenery and unmasked lighting instruments also relates to the distancing effect of alienation and is commonly used in Epic Theatre.
