Abstract

Fiery Purification and Failure: Antonin Artaud read by Josep Palau i Fabre Antonin Artaud’s « Théâtre de la cruauté » consists in the extreme display of the conflictive nature of the world.

The article aims to identify the central elements of Palau’s interpretation, annihilation and debirth, and to assess their inscription in an experimental poetics proposal inspired by alchemy.
