What does it mean to imagine a body freed from its organs, its history, and its limits? In his final writings, Antonin Artaud turned against Christ, psychiatry, sexuality, and language itself, while elaborating the concept of the “body without organs.” Translator and scholar Stephen Barber joins Acid Horizon Podcast to discuss A Sinister Assassin, a collection that gathers together these visionary late texts.

The lecture that Artaud gave at the Vieux-Colombier Theatre on 13 January 1947, entitled ‘The true story of Artaud-Mômo – Face to face by Antonin Artaud’, would become an important reference point for a generation of post-war intellectuals and artists. This is the first translation into English of a work that many scholars believe is crucial in understanding Artaud’s later writings. What makes these texts so riveting and powerful is that Artaud, unlike in his other writings, is summing up a lifetime’s experience of pain at the hands of society and doctors. It is the closest thing we have to Artaud’s autobiography. In his lecture at the Theatre Vieux-Colombier, Artaud forcefully ruptured all received and polite notions of performance or lecture, even the idea of the theatre. He pushed himself and his viewers past the realm of what could be comfortably absorbed. Writing to Saillet, after the performance, Artaud maintained what he always thought was true in this world: that “all the rare lucid tortured souls have always been assassinated.”
