About the author
Antonin Artaud
281 books796 followersFrench surrealist poet and playwright Antonin Artaud advocated a deliberately shocking and confrontational style of drama that he called "theater of cruelty."
People better knew Antoine Marie Joseph Artaud, an essayist, actor, and director.
Considered among the most influential figures in the evolution of modern theory, Antonin Artaud associated with artists and experimental groups in Paris during the 1920s.
Political differences then resulted in him breaking and founding the theatre Alfred Jarry with Roger Vitrac and Robert Aron. Together, they expected to create a forum for works to change radically. Artaud especially expressed disdain for west of the day, panned the ordered plot and scripted language that his contemporaries typically employed to convey ideas, and recorded his ideas in such works as Le Theatre de la cruaute and The Theatre and Its Double .
Artaud thought to represent reality and to affect the much possible audience and therefore used a mixture of strange and disturbing forms of lighting, sound, and other performance elements.
Artaud wanted that the "spectacle" that "engulfed and physically affected" this audience, put in the middle. He referred to this layout like a "vortex," a "trapped and powerless" constantly shifting shape.

La poesía es un modo de encontrarse a sí mismo, y Antonin Artaud lo hace a través de su visión del mundo y la vida.

"¿Quién soy?
¿De dónde vengo?
Soy Antonin Artaud
y apenas yo lo diga
como sé decirlo
inmediatamente
verán mi cuerpo actual
estallar
y recogerse
bajo diez mil aspectos notorios
un cuerpo nuevo
en el que ustedes no podrán
nunca jamás
olvidarme..."...

Si me pidieran que describiera la poesía de Artaud diría que es orgánica, neurótica, filosófica. ¡Me gusta!
