cARTAUDgrafia 2 – Voyage to Mexico
After the publication of A Correspondence Artaud’s artistic trajectory unfolds in different fields: he works in Parisian theater and in French and international cinema, he coordinates the office of surrealist researches and publishes his poetic works in prominent publishers. Twelve years later, in 1936, at the time of the completion of The Theater and its Double and on the occasion of the relative failure of its staging of The Cenci, the disenchantment of Artaud with the western culture reaches the apex. Travel to Mexico, the second part of the trilogy, shows the poet when breaking with European rationality. Artaud seeks the “inner revolution of man” through contact with the Mexican indigenous culture by participating in Tutuguri (rite of the
peyote) of the Tarahumaras Indians. Travel to Mexico deepens the disintegration of Artaud, who, returning to Europe, enters the limbo of psychiatric hospitalization. The show synthesizes writings made between 1934 and 1947, among which excerpts from The Theater and its Double, Revolutionary Messages, Journey to the Country of the Tarahumaras, to End the Judgment of God and True History of Artaud-Momo.
