Antonin Artaud
Antonin Artaud (1896–1948) remains one of the most consequential and uncontainable figures of the European avant-garde. His theorisation of the Theatre of Cruelty — most fully articulated in The Theatre and Its Double — reshaped how performance, language, and the body are understood in relation to one another. His writing moved across manifestos, poetry, correspondence, and visual art, drawing on surrealism, philosophy, the occult, and indigenous cosmologies. Lokator100 carries titles by and about Artaud because the work continues to demand serious engagement.
The collection brings together primary texts, critical studies, artist publications, and facsimile or catalogue editions connected to Artaud's practice. Selection is governed by lasting relevance rather than availability or trend. Titles are chosen for their editorial or scholarly rigour, their documentary value, or their formal relationship to the experimental traditions Artaud helped define. Bibliographic details are documented accurately for each item, and condition is noted with precision.
