"Bubi is a director of the third millennium. Bravo! -Mario Fratti - Playwright/Critic -American Oggi
"What I love about the kind of theatre that Roi Bubi Escudero creates: it's imaginative, it's gutsy, and it's utterly true to itself. There are no rules in a show like this, save to be ready to embrace whatever comes before you. Such courageous art is not so common these days, and has much to teach its audience and, I venture to guess, its performers as well."-Martin Denton -nytheater.com
ARTAUD MARAT and The Inmates of His Mind Written, Designed and Directed by ROI ESCUDERO
Movement by IOAN ARDELEAN.
TROUPE: Ioan Ardelean as ARTAUD and ALL his HALLUCINATIONS,
Roi Escudero as MADAME NEBUNIE La FOLIE, Artaud's madness.
Victoria Ric as MADEMOISELLE Raison d'tre and Her Manifestations.
Valentin Ewan as The CARETAKER, The Ghost of Dr. Ferdire.
Original sound poetry by ANTONIN ARTAUD, excerpts from To Have Done With the Judgment of God and other recordings.
Mardi Gras is happening outside and the audience is brought inside Antonin Artaud's mind, where the imaginary, the symbolic and the real manifest themselves. A post-modern installation of magic(al) realism, performance-art, movement, music, sound poetry and film, which evokes the full force of the life, work and lucid madness of the beloved visionary genius of theater ANTONIN ARTAUD.
We chose Artauds visionary genius and brilliant madness as a way to denounce the hypocrisies of society. Tolstoy said that the most important thing in life and art is to tell the truth. We consider Artaud's truth to be important and relevant to our present time, where the emotional and physical cruelty of terror is everywhere, disguised behind the powers of good and evil.
ARTAUD MARAT was created by award-winning conceptual performance artist Roi Escudero with the collaboration of Ioan Ardelean and Valentin Ewan. Artaud is adored and respected all over the world by many generations and we intend to introduce him to many more. Artaud represents the many artists carelessly thrown aside by society, who despite their suffering with mental issues, became immortal through their wonderful work.
