Antonin Artaud (born Sept. 4, 1896, Marseille, France—died March 4, 1948, Ivry-sur-Seine) was a French dramatist, poet, actor, and theoretician of the Surrealist movement who attempted to replace the “bourgeois” classical theatre with his “theatre of cruelty,” a primitive ceremonial experience intended to liberate the human subconscious and reveal man to himself.
