    Antonin Artaud

    Explanation:

    Antonin Artaud was a French dramatist, poet, essayist, actor, and theatre director. He is best known for conceptualizing a 'Theatre of Cruelty'.

    In 1926, Artaud founded the Theatre Alfred Jarry with Robert Aron and expelled Surrealist Roger Vitrac. The Theatre was short-lived, but was attended by an enormous amount of European artists.

    His "theatre of cruelty," was a primitive ceremonial experience intended to liberate the human subconscious and reveal man to himself.

    Artaud's own works were less important than his theories. For example: his adaptation of "Les Cenci", performed in Paris in 1935, was a failure.
