ARTAUD ARTAUD, by Matthew Minnicino, had its world premiere on Sept. 1st, 2015 at Theater for the New City, New York, NY.
Artaud, trapped inside his body, can only wrestle with his own Double to regain control – but the Double, full of childlike chaos and wonder, begins to find his own wants and needs, and discovers that they are not Artaud's.
