More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
First published in 1938, "The Theatre and Its Double" is a collection of essays detailing Antonin Artaud's radical theories on drama, which he saw as being stifled by conservatism and lack of experimentation. It contains the famous manifestos of the 'Theatre of Cruelty', 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. Also included is 'Seraphim's Theatre', in which Artaud attempts an actor's application of the Taoist principles of fullness and emptiness. This groundbreaking text is widely read throughout the world for the beauty of its style and as a source of inspiration for new drama, and will appeal to those in search of the essence of theatre.

Artaud A+, Corti D-
26 April 2011
Format:Paperback
Artaud is fascinating, a definite must-read for any theatre student. Corti's translation does not give the text justice, however. It lacks the 'Conquest of Mexico' text in the Second Manifesto, and because his translations differ from earlier editions, it is difficult to follow with students using other editions.
Though my biggest complaint is with the lack of the 'Conquest', purchasers should be aware of whether their copy is going to have all of the information they are looking for.
