Cruelty And Desire In The Modern Theater by Laurens De Vos
Antonin Artaud, Sarah Kane, and Samuel Beckett
An exploration of how modern drama harnesses cruelty and desire to rethink embodiment, language, and spectatorship, drawing on Artaud’s theatre of cruelty and close readings of Beckett and Kane; it argues that staging pain, longing, and the fractured body destabilizes identity and representation while provoking a fraught, ethically charged encounter between performance and audience.
