The infamous​ French theater theorist, Antonin Artaud, changed the face of Western theater with his ideas for a "Theater of Cruelty". He craved a theater that threw off the falsity of daily life and exposed the human soul in all its glory and shame. He imagined a theater as a profound ritual that envelops and transforms audiences. This season was full of daring, beautiful, ambitious, and fiercely honest events that took audiences onto an uncensored journey into Artaud's crazed, violent, and awe-inspiring vision.
