Koutsourakis, A (2016) Theatricality as Cruelty. Image and Narrative: online magazine of the visual narrative, 17 (5). pp. 54-65. ISSN 1780-678X
Abstract
This essay suggests that theatricality is key to understanding Artaudian cruelty. I clarify this with reference to two films by Sergei Eisenstein and Abel Gance. The essay draws attention to the multimedia aspect of Artaud's aesthetic and proposes a pathway that can help us reconsider distinctions between theatricality and cinematic specificity.
