Theatre and the Technique of Self: Daumal and Artaud

In this 38-minute lecture filmed at the “René Daumal Symposium” organised by CIRET (Centre International d'Etudes et de Recherches Transdisciplinaires - International Centre for Transdisciplinary Study and Research), Marcello Gallucci presents us with a view of experimental metaphysics as the natural arena for poetic creation, as seen in the works of Antonin Artaud and René Daumal. He also discusses the notable influence of Rogert Gilbert-Lecomte on the two writers.
