From Surrealist Cinema, to the Theatre of Cruelty, to his unique studies of the fragmented human body executed in a lunatic asylum, Antonin Artaud (1896-1948) remains one of the most inspirational, provocative and challenging figures in 20th Century contemporary culture. Presented here for the first time is a full and authoritative exploration of the extremes of his work in film, art and recording - traversed by the forces of ecstasy and annihilation, and sutured together by a raw imagery of the screaming body.
