Antonin ARTAUD (1896-1948). Autograph manuscript, Autour d'une Mère, [1935]; 6pages on 3 leaves in-4. On theater. Draft of article published in the Nouvelle Revue Française on July 1, 1935, text collected in Le Théâtre et son double (Gallimard, 1938). It is devoted to Jean-Louis Barrault's play Autour d'une mère, adapted from Faulkner's novel Tandis que j'agonise, at the Théâtre Montmartre (June 4, 1935). First draft, with erasures, corrections and additions, showing significant variants with the published text. "Jean-Louis Barrault's show takes out the symbols; and so his action, however violent and active it may be, remains, in short, without extension. And it is without extension because it is only descriptive, because it recounts external facts in which souls have no part, because it does not touch thoughts and souls to the core, and it is here, much more than in the question of whether or not this production is truly theatrical, that my reproach lies. It has all the means of theater, because theater that opens up a physical field requires that we fill that field, that we furnish its space with gestures [...] I'm not unaware that Balinese theater [...] is still a secular theater, but we know that among authentic peoples, the secular is still religious. And we must be grateful to Jean-L. Barrault for having brought back a little of the old religious spirit [...] There is in J.L. Barrault's show a kind of marvelous centaur man; and our emotion was great in front of this show"... Etc.
