Cruelty, Theatre of

    0.06 sec.

Cruelty, Theatre of

Theory advanced by Antonin Artaud in his book Le Théâtre et son double/Theatre and its Double (1938) and adopted by a number of writers and directors. It aims to substitute gesture and sound for spoken dialogue, and to shock the audience into awareness through the release of feelings usually repressed by conventional behaviour.
