The term 'EPIC' is an Aristotelian term that refers to a narration that is "not tied to time". The purpose of Brecht's theatre productions were to make you think and observe rather than to just spectate. Arguments were encouraged. One important component to understand before watching any EPIC theatre play is to know that each scene is for itself; it is not chronological in any shape or form, and in fact, it does not need to be.
Montage originates from the French verb "monter", which means "to mount". The purpose of a montage is to edit films by shooting a series of short clips in order to abridge information and time.
