Title Description:
POUR EN FINIR AVEC LE JUGEMENT DE DIEU
to have done with god's judgement Ôa devil of a snagÕ - the story of a banned broadcast. after hearing artaudÕs work, the director of the French radio censored it on the spot. what we issue here is the complete broadcast (including texts performed in the most phenomenal manner by artaud himself and the strange trance-like
music of his own invention). artaud would die a few months later. the recording comes with an important introduction by marc dachy who puts things in their historical perspective.

ARTAUD LE MOMO
of course, antonin artaud is still the archetypal accursed poet, the man confined to the asylum, the inventor of the theatre of cruelty. but he was above all a visionary. in 1945, he published the journey to the land of the tarahumaras, a panting and lacerating chant based on his trip to mexico and his experiences with peyote. there is his famous lecture in the thŽ‰tre du vieux colombier in 1947, and the following year, his ultimate work - a piece devised for radio - pour en finir avec le jugement de dieu (to have done with god's judgement).

THE DANCE OF THE TUTUGURI
is part of censored broadcast, issued here. artauds is now beyond language and what are heard are his shouts and outcries on a background of drums and percussion; a state of trance.
