Antonin Artaud - Pour En Finir avec le Judgement De Dieu

Open Player
Antonin Artaud
Pour En Finir avec le Judgement De Dieu (Sub Rosa)
Experimental 
Sorry, out of stock.

After hearing Artaud's work, the director of the French radio censored it on the spot. Here is the complete broadcast (including texts performed in the most phenomenal manner by Antonin Artaud himself and the strange trance-like music of his own invention).

The recording comes with an important introduction by Marc Dachy who puts things in their historical perspective.

Antonin Artaud is still the archetypal accursed poet, the man confined to the asylum, the inventor of the theatre of cruelty, but he was above all a visionary. In 1945, he published the Journey To The Land of the Tarahumaras, a panting and lacerating chant based on his trip to Mexico and his experiences with peyote. There is his famous lecture in the Théâtre du Vieux Colombier in 1947, and the following year, his ultimate work, a piece devised for radio 'Pour En Finir Avec Le Jugement De Dieu' (To Have Done With God's Judgement).
