Hu, Miaosheng. Jian lun wu tai mei shu de xu yu shi. In : Ren min wen xue ; no 31 (1978) [A brief discourse on the illusion and the realness of the art of stage design].
Er schreibt : Brecht objects to allowing the audience feel as if they were participating in the events happening on stage. Therefore, he objects to creating a milieu with a specific locality (such as a bedroom at night, or an alley in autumn). And this creates the so called “A-effect” which prevents empathy. For example, in Mutter Courage und ihre Kinder, the various countries’ names were suspended above the stage in large black letters and lighting was white, even and brilliant, making it possible to get rid of any remnants of atmosphere such as would have given the incidents a slightly romantic flavour. This intentional stamping out of illusion on stage for the sake of evoking the audience’s imagination is moving from one extreme to another.
