Published here in its entirety in English, Artaud’s Revolutionary Messages collects Antonin Artaud’s political, aesthetic and philosophical writings during his travels to Mexico in 1936.

Not only will you gain crucial insight into Artaud’s time in Mexico and his vision of a “total revolution,” which he places in distinction to Marxist and Surrealist conceptions of revolution, but you will deepen your understanding of the philosophical roots of his theatrical project, which ultimately shaped modern theatre and dance.

The publication includes an introduction by the translator, Joel White, and a preface by Professor of European Philosophy, Howard Caygill.
