Based on the life and work of actor, director, theoretician, artist, and visionary genius Antonin Marie Joseph Artaud. After years of research and practice with Artaud's theory of the Theatre of Cruelty, Roi "Bubi" Escudero has unraveled Artaud's brilliant, lucid madness. To create this piece Bubi has followed Artaud's belief that the creative process of the mise-en-scène needs to be in the hands of the same artist. With her background in French literature, visual arts and theatre she has constructed a universal language and originated an integral work as a performance artist, playwright and director. Bubi's method focuses on impromptu and visceral techniques that guide the performers through the creative process. The poetic imagery of a multimedia video brings together music, sound, and movement, and supports the narrative and action onstage. The fourth wall is broken down, reality and fantasy are intermingled, and the audience is pulled into a visual-dynamic hallucination of a non-structured theatrical spectacle.
