Artaud, Antonin Author



Antonin Artaud was a prolific author of books that were groundbreaking in the world of theatre and performance. He wrote tirelessly to further explore his experimental approach to art, and his books such as The Theatre and its Double and Van Gogh, the Man Suicided by Society delved into topics related to theatre, film, visual arts, and poetry. Artaud's books sought to challenge society's preconceptions about what defines performance art, drama and literature. His works focused on an underlying conviction that not only should visuals be replaced with soundscapes but audiences should actively engage in the artwork itself. Many found his ideas revolutionary and he is still remembered as one of the most influential writers from this era.
