Artaud Unbound
Film and radio scenarios by Antonin Artaud
Co-produced with BRAT Productions, 4 world premier adaptations of Artaud's works took center stage.
Two power-packed hours of Artaud's ground-breaking film scenarios, radio plays, and manifestos played at The Latvian Society of Philadelphia. Audiences entered a candle-lit gothic parlor, filled with draped cabaret tables, sipping red wine and nibbling on French hors d'œuvres, as these unusual and never-before-seen works came to life.
