Drama. To Antonin Artaud, drama was necessarily the drama of life, a drama that involved the audience as an integral part of the action. This revolutionary theory of the indistinguishable link between the incarnation of drama and the dramatization of life is equally evident in the film scenarios and writings contained in this volume of COLLECTED WORKS. Written in the thirties, the scenarios are quite extraordinary precursors, both visually and theoretically, of modern underground movies. This volume also contains texts on the cinema and an important collection of correspondence with several major figures from the literary world as well as that of the theatre. Translated and with an introduction by Victor Corti.
