Le Théâtre et son double

"Le Théâtre et son Double" by Antonin Artaud explores the idea that theatre transcends mere storytelling, serving as a ritualistic and transformative experience. Artaud argues that theatre should break away from conventional realism and instead evoke raw, emotional truths through physicality, symbolism, and collective energy. He envisions theatre as a means to confront subconscious realities, ignite primal instincts, and foster genuine human connection. Overall, the work advocates for an innovative, visceral approach to theatre that challenges audiences to experience deeper emotional and spiritual insights.
