This is posted in observance of Antonin Artaud (Sept. 4, 1896) – playwright, poet, actor, visionary.
“We do not mean to bore the audience to death with transcendental cosmic preoccupations. Audiences are not interested in whether there are profound clues to the show’s thought and action, since in general this does not concern them. But these must still be there and that concerns us.” – Antonin Artaud
