Description
The Theatre and Its Double is a collection of essays that explores the radical theories of drama and theatre, as outlined by Antonin Artaud. First published in 1938, the book contains the famous manifestos of the 'Theatre of Cruelty', which challenge traditional notions of performance and provide a new approach to the physical and expressive aspects of acting.
Artaud's work is a thought-provoking analysis of the underlying impulses of performance, and offers suggestions for a physical-training method for actors and actresses. The book also features a long appreciation of the expressive values of Eastern dance drama, providing a unique perspective on the relationship between movement and expression.
Published in 2013 by Alma Classics, The Theatre and Its Double is a valuable resource for anyone interested in drama, theatre, and the performing arts. This collection of essays is a worthwhile read for those seeking to understand the radical ideas of Antonin Artaud and their enduring influence on the world of theatre.
