Artaud: Un Portrait en Décomposition

Artaud: Un Portrait en Décomposition

« Artaud: un portrait en décomposition » began as a theatrical adaptation of the poetry and letters of French poet, actor, surrealist and mad man Antonin Artaud. My initial work on the project was carried out at Le LABO with a grant from the OAC’s program « Jets de théâtre ». Artaud’s writings and ideas often defy conventional theories and practices of performance and interpretation and my research was carried out with this in mind.
