Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses how the French theatre visionary, Antonin Artaud thought about painting and how this influenced the set design in his theatrical work. The author argues that Artaud’s sets reveal a realism that is played up to the extreme, almost surreal, despite the fact that the Alfred Jarry Theatre was able to operate on an extremely small budget. He later gave up this practice and, like Balinese theatre, tried to rediscover the concrete and physical meaning of the stage. The author interprets Artaud’s approach to art and his revolutionary vision through the set design of his most famous performance, The Cenci, as well as through his studies and writings.
