Artaud's "Voice of the Theatre"

Artaud's "Voice of the Theatre" advocates for a revolutionary approach to theatrical expression, emphasizing the importance of raw, visceral communication over traditional realism. He believed theatre should evoke deep, primal emotions and challenge audiences to experience a more profound, collective truth. This involves using powerful, expressive vocal and physical techniques to break free from conventional narrative and aesthetic constraints, creating a more authentic and spiritual encounter. Ultimately, Artaud envisioned theatre as a transformative force that awakens the subconscious and connects people through an intense, visceral shared experience.
