Question

This author’s aim to capture “life itself” failed because of a dialectic involving death and repetition, according to an essay on the “Closure of Representation.” A concept that this author called a “living whirlwind that devours the darkness” (-5[1])inspired a 2011 book-length “reckoning” on art by Maggie Nelson. (15[1])This author’s play To Have Done with the Judgement (-5[1])of God is the origin (15[1])of Deleuze and Guattari’s term “body (15[1])without organs.” This (15[1])author’s (15[1])avant-garde (*) adaptation of Percy Shelley’s play (10[1])The Cenci (-5[1])ran for only (10[1])17 performances in 1935. (10[1])This author of the play Jet of Blood included (10[1])the essay (-5[2])“No More Masterpieces” (10[1])in a collection that argues that theater should be difficult (10[1])and should remind (10[1])us that “we are not free.” For 10 points, name (10[1])this French author whose (10[1])collection The Theatre and Its (10[1])Double (10[1])presents his idea (10[1])of the Theatre of Cruelty. (10[1])■END■ (10[2]0[1])

ANSWER: Antonin Artaud [or Antoine Marie Joseph Paul Artaud] (The opening essay is Jacques Derrida’s “The Theater of Cruelty and the Closure of Representation.” Maggie Nelson’s book is The Art of Cruelty: A Reckoning.)
