Carta a la vidente is a selection of texts by Antonin Artaud, extracted from L'Ombilic des Limbes and Le Pèse-Nerfs, made by Héctor Manjarrez. This book offers a clear and unbiased vision of Artaud, highlighting his lucidity even in the midst of deep stupor. The work traces Artaud's creative trajectory, from his first poems to his foray into surrealism and the founding of the Alfred Jarry theater, showing the intensity and suffering that marked his life.
Antoine Maria Joseph Paul Artaud, better known as Antonin Artaud, was a French artist who worked across a variety of media. He is best known for his writings, as well as his work in the theatre and cinema. Widely recognized as a major figure of the European avant-garde, he had a particularly strong influence on twentieth-century theatre through his conceptualization of the Theatre of Cruelty. Known for his raw, surreal and transgressive work, his texts explored themes from the cosmologies of ancient cultures, philosophy, the occult, mysticism and indigenous Mexican and Balinese practices.
