Sushama I don't think so my friend, Artaud makes a plea full of common sense, this text is taken from "La Révolution Surréaliste n°3, 1925." history: Much has been said about Antonin Artaud's joining the surrealist movement, even more about the disagreements that caused the break. No one has ever really tried to analyze the reasons which made this separated man participate, isolated in himself ("I can say, I, really, that I am not in the world, and this is not a simple attitude of mind.”), to the activities of a group. No doubt a certain attraction to the marvelous brought him closer to André Breton, the systematic research of the surrealists in the domain of the unconscious seemed to him close to that which he practiced so cruelly on himself; nor is it impossible that he glimpsed a hope of resolution to this difference which was his, in the fact of incorporating himself into a group which did not want to be only literary and artistic but claimed to act in life and about life. The fact remains that Antonin Artaud participated so closely in this movement that the direction of the “Centrale du bureau de recherche surréalistes” was entrusted to him for a time, like that of number 3 of La Révolution surréaliste, to which he imprinted his violence. From this period date a certain number of short texts, more closed in on themselves, sorts of prose poems, which together constitute L'Art et la Mort (Paris, 1929). To surrealism can be attached his film scripts and some theoretical articles about cinema. Only one of these scenarios, La Coquille et le Clergyman, was produced in 1927 by Germaine Dulac.
