Antonin Artaud and the Theater of Cruelty: Crash Course Theater #43
video description
Not because he-s a particularly good person.
But without him and Brecht, modern theater would literally never be the same.
And most people know one but not the other. And that-s sad. Because weird theater is fun! But I might be biased in saying that bc I-m working on a Grotowski-influenced devised piece so I just like weird theater.

I gave you a thumbs up for recognizing this innovative man of the theater.
Yet, I'm concerned about your quick (and poor) history of of his life
before you introduced his true insights.
I know it's very hard to complete a full history as rich as Artaud in 11 minutes
but at least get your timeline correct.
For a good read, read -Antonin Artaud: Man Of Vision- by Bettina L. Knapp.
Peace on Earth.

Great work. Just one thing though. The presenter is clearly not a fan of Artaud and you don't have to be. Try to simply state the facts. Please don't lead the audience with what you think is strange or weird by showing it in your voice and facial expressions. Let people who watch your video decide that for themselves.

I took a theater class where we studied Artaud and we had to create a written staging of A Midsummer Night-s Dream according to ideas about the mise en scene. After hearing about that play, I see why we didn-t have to do something plausible with our hypothetical staging and design.

Can you point me to good resources that explain the significance of Artaud? I feel like this just scratches the surface, and I'm not quite able to make the connections beyond -it's surrealism, adapted to the theatre. - and I'm pretty sure there is much more to it than that.

Oh, and thank you for doing Artaud before Brecht. I got a C in theatre history when my professor refused to my submission on Artaud, she suggested Brecht instead. I did it anyway, after all, that-s what he would have done!

I love him, and his work. Truly unreal. We have focused in him and his drama forms a lot in A-level drama! Just watched this video before my written exam. it was a good help.

I read the entirety of The Theater and its Double for my Graduate class and didn't get what the hell was going on until this video. So thank you!

Glad that you mentioned Jerzy Grotowski! Fantastic artist. Here's hoping he gets an episode dedicated to him and his influential ideas.
