Aactor, a prophet, a saint, a martyr, a figure who passed before our eyes and disappeared, a handsome man, a wise man, a teacher, a madman. Artaud was all of these. Therefore, any attempt to present or understand his case must take his life itself as the starting point. He is the true hero of his works: whatever he did, whatever happened to him, whatever he endured, whatever he suffered is infinitely more important than anything else we can say about him.
He is the archetypal hero of our time, a hero who sacrifices himself because of his tremendous psychic displacement. Artaud is a myth. The creation of this myth and the image that embodies him is the achievement of his life. And—as is the case with the heroes of all myths—the only way to gain access to what he truly represents is to faithfully follow his path, from martyrdom to death. [Martin Esslin]
The universe of Artaud, his personality, all that tormented him—his passions, his illness, his disappointments—but also, above all, what he overcomes to present us with his brilliant discourse form the raw material of the original play Skeleton. In their third work about Antonin Artaud (Artaud/Van Gogh, with a pistol – 2015, The Cenci Family – 2015, Skeleton – 2022), Ioli Andreadi and Aris Asproulis attempt a dive into the soul and mind of the most influential thinker in modern theatre. There, the entire struggle of a theatre that wants to operate outside the establishment is condensed, a theatre that aims to become healing for humanity by awakening its subconscious, a theatre that can truly change the world.
