The Jet of Blood (Le jet de sang)

"The Jet of Blood" is a surreal play by Antonin Artaud that uses vivid, symbolic imagery to explore intense human emotions and primal instincts. The title refers to a sudden, powerful outburst—like a burst of blood—representing raw passion, violence, and the chaotic forces within us. The play eschews traditional storytelling, instead using striking visual and auditory elements to evoke feelings of tension, liberation, and the subconscious. It challenges audiences to confront the darker, more instinctual sides of human nature through its visceral, experimental theatrical style.
