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. This author’s play To Have Done with the Judgement of God is the origin (15[1])of Deleuze and Guattari’s term “body without organs.” This author’s avant-garde (*) adaptation of Percy Shelley’s play The Cenci ran for only (10[1])17 performances in 1935. This author of the play Jet of Blood included the essay “No More Masterpieces” in a collection that argues that theater should be difficult and should remind us that “we are not free.” For 10 points, name this French author whose (10[1])collection The Theatre and Its Double (10[1])presents his idea (10[1])of the Theatre of Cruelty. ■END■ (10[1])
