Artaud's Manifesto

Antonin Artaud's Manifesto, particularly through his concept of the "Theater of Cruelty," advocates for a radical transformation of theater and art. He believed that traditional forms are too restrained and that true art should confront and challenge audiences, tapping into deep emotional and instinctual responses. Artaud sought to break away from conventional storytelling to create intense, immersive experiences that reveal the darker aspects of human existence. His work emphasizes the power of imagery, sound, and visceral sensations to provoke thought and stir feelings, ultimately aiming for a deeper understanding of the human condition.
