FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description First published in 1938, The Theatre and Its Double is a collection of essays detailing Antonin Artauds radical theories on drama and theatre, which he saw as being stifled by conservatism and lack of experimentation. Containing the famous manifestos of the Theatre of Cruelty, the collection analyses the underlying impulses of performance, provides some suggestions on a physical-training method for actors and actresses, and features a long appreciation of the expressive values of Eastern dance drama. Author Biography Antonin Artaud (1896 – 1948) was a French dramatist, poet, essayist, actor and theatre director, widely recognized as one of the major figures of twentieth-century theatre and the European avant-garde. Artauds most significant contribution to drama theory is his "theater of cruelty" and, although it was not widely embraced in practice, the ideas have been, and continue to be, the subject of many essays on modern theater. Review He has had an impact so profound that the course of all recent serious theatre in Western Europe and the Americas can be said to divide into two periods - before Artaud and after Artaud. -- Susan Sontag Review Quote This smart reissue of Victor Cortis 1970 translation is welcome, offering a new generation access to Artauds vision of theatre as total art form...even after all these years, it still sends shivers down the spine.
