Artaud, Antonin (1896–1948)

French actor, theatre director, and theorist. Although his play Les Cenci/The Cenci (1935) was a failure, his passionate manifestos in Theatre of Cruelty (1931–36), advocating the release of feelings usually repressed in the unconscious, have been an important influence on modern dramatists and directors, such as Brook and Grotowski.
