Antonin Artaud: Collected Works

Antonin Artaud: Collected Works is a comprehensive compilation of the influential French playwright and theorist's writings, which explore the intersection of theater, language, and the human experience. Artaud is best known for his concept of the "Theatre of Cruelty," which advocates for a visceral, emotional approach to performance that confronts audiences with raw human truths. His works reflect his struggles with mental illness and a deep desire to revolutionize theater, challenging traditional narrative forms. Through poetic language and radical ideas, Artaud sought to awaken audiences and provoke a profound emotional response to existential realities.
