Artaud Artaud

When playwright Antonin Artaud’s physical form is usurped by a double, he struggles to maintain control of his own individuality. The play contains a series of vignettes inspired by the life of famous theater artist and theoretician during his time in the Sanitarium at Rodez, France in the 1940s. Trapped inside the chaos of his mind, the playwright wrestles with the Double to regain primacy and control over the way others perceive him.
