The Artaud Collection

The Artaud Collection refers to a curated selection of works associated with Antoine Artaud, a French playwright, actor, and theorist known for his bold ideas about theater and performance. It often includes writings, essays, and materials that explore his innovative approaches to acting, directorial techniques, and his concept of the “Theatre of Cruelty,” which aimed to challenge audiences and provoke deep emotional responses. The collection serves as a valuable resource for understanding Artaud’s influence on modern avant-garde arts, emphasizing intense sensory experiences and confronting societal norms through experimental theatrical forms.
