Antonin Artaud Collected Works

Drama. Antonin Artaud is one of the two or three most influential innovators of the twentieth century, whose theories and production ideas, along with his writings and plays, have brought a new poetic impulse and dynamic intensity to the stage, replacing the naturalistic theater that preceded his own. In this volume of "Collected Work", we see Artaud's early formulations of his theories on theater in general, and the genesis of the "theatre of cruelty". In particular, the volume contains the famous manifestos of the revolutionary Alfred Jarry Theatre, productions plans, notes and critical articles. Also included is a series of articles on literature and the plastic arts, written during the same period. The variety and humor of such a wide range of work certainly constitutes a fertile source for those seeking a new approach to theater and its allied arts.Artaud, Antonin is the author of 'Antonin Artaud Collected Works' with ISBN 9780714501727 and ISBN 0714501727.
