How does Antonin Artaud express surrealism in his works of Theatre of Cuelty and La Cenci”

” How does Antonin Artaud express surrealism in his works of Theatre of Cuelty and La Cenci”
This question can be mended as one must write their own title. However I would like the format to analyze how Antonin Artaud expressed surrealism in his work and how this could show the unstableness which lead him to be put in an asylum.
Please avoid writing too heavily on his inspiration from Oriental Theatre as I am writing a paper on that.
I have attached documents from our course structure to give you a better idea what we covered as well as our reading list which should preferably be used as reference.
For any additional information or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you

Describe the different elements of climactic and episodic plot structure used in theater plays

Describe the different elements of climactic and episodic plot structure used in theater plays. Provide a clear description for both. Support your answer with examples from a specific theater show for each plot structure. Compare the two structures. What are the benefits and challenges with climactic plot structure? Support your answer with examples from a specific theater shows for each structure. Please refrain from using film or television examples. What are the benefits and challenges with episodic plot structure? And lastly, conclude with which form of storytelling is best for today’s audience and why?

The Body of the Review

1) Isolate what you feel was the director’s interpretation of the play from what the author’s intention was. For instance, almost all historical plays undergo some kind of a change from their initial productions. Compare and contrast Loosey’s version from what Ibsen intended.

2) Once you have identified the point of the production, go over significant elements with regard to whether they support/detract from the production. (Significant elements might include: casting, acting, dialect, physicalization, cross gender casting, interracial casting, placement of actors by director, design [set, sound, light costumes, music, etc.])

3) Next, you should focus on ONE key specific element such as the acting or the design and discuss how these elements contributed to the production. Be certain not only to praise or condemn but backup your observations with supporting evidence and examples from the film. Assessment. Identify what, if anything, did this production contribute to your understanding of theatre? What, if anything, can you say about the style of the production? Was it appropriate for the play, the occasion, the audience, etc.?
Compare the versions of the play that you saw in this module with Loosey’s film version. In your opinion, which one told the story the best. Why? Support your opinion with references from the play itself, history, acting, etc.
