Les Cenci d'Antonin Artaud, un théậtre cruel? : suivi de Le Foyer - texte dramatique / Foyer

The thesis is divided in two sections; the first section consists in a critical document while the second presents my own creative writing, a play intitled Le Foyer. My use of theatrical writing in Le Foyer sought to privilege certain litterary techniques and dramatic processes elaborated by Antonin Artaud (1896-1948) in his manifesto The Theatre and his Double (1938). The thesis' theoretical section explores various issues at stake in my creative writing exercise: the link between the play Les Cenci and Artaud's metaphysic is questionned. I aimed to demonstrate how Les Cenci is an improbable example of the concept of Theatre of Cruelty. I stressed the liberties the playwright has taken with his theory when putting it into practice in a first attempt to create total theatre.
