About the author
(1896–1948) was a French playwright, poet, and theatre theorist known for developing the concept of the ‘Theatre of Cruelty.’ He believed that theatre should be a powerful sensory experience that challenges audiences and confronts deeper psychological truths. Artaud’s ideas broke away from traditional narrative structures, emphasizing emotion, symbolism, and physical expression. Although his work was not widely recognized during his lifetime, it later influenced avant-garde theatre and performance art. His writings continue to inspire experimental artists and thinkers interested in pushing the boundaries of creative expression and human perception.
