Antonin Artaud: All You Need To Know (Not really... but...)

[@veronikaressina2439]

Thank you! First lecture of yours. Subscribed. Please don't stop doing these. What a pleasure to find a quality lecture on a difficult topic on KZbin. Thank you a thousand times.

You have an incredible way of describing things! Helped me with a group performance of spurt of blood. Very underrated

[@silakkapiffit]

Every step trying to understand Artaud is important. Thank you for this!

One year ago today, exactly, this was posted. Poetic tribute for sure. College level daring and inspiring.

Very interesting, very insightful. Although my extended family is more actively engaged in the world of theatre than myself, after having first heard of Artaud (in a video game of all places), I wanted to learn more about him and the Theatre of Cruelty. This presentation was exactly what I was after.

Bovine eye..not a hard-boiled egg. see the furred face? Easy to acquire.

[@martinrobborobinson]

Yes, thank you , I noted that one above… makes a lot more sense and, of course, ‘pops’ when cut into. Still horrible to watch…

It's funny that you did read "Jerzy" like "Jersey".

[@martinrobborobinson]

Yes, indeed, some dreadful pronunciations throughout!

The Beats have almost nothing in common with Artaud. Artaud would not have liked Ginsberg at all, as an artist or as a person. The pop stars of the 60's are in the same category of people who claim influence by Artaud but have no real understanding of or interest in Artaud. Artaud just became a flat, commercial, one-dimensional symbol of rebellion that many people projected their own interests onto without any real understanding of Artaud. One proof of this is that there is no body of worked out interpretation of Artaud that stands today as coherent and applicable in theater or any other art form. There are actually relatively few people who have studied Artaud deeply enough to have more than a superficial grasp of what he was really about. If you made a long list of the people who are supposedly influenced by Artaud and either asked them personally for, or tried to deduce from their work, an explanation of what Artaud meant by "the body without organs" you would find nothing. But if you don't have some real grasp of what "the body without organs" meant to Artaud then you don't know Artaud. Artaud is still the most misunderstood famous/infamous person in history.

But, the point I’m making is - was Ginsberg influenced by Artaud? allenginsberg.org/2011/09/antonin-artaud/
