un teatro de sangre

Thomas Cooper Gotch (1854–1931, England)

Gotch was an English Pre-Raphaelite painter and illustrator. He studied art in London and Antwerp before he married and studied in Paris with his wife, Caroline, a fellow artist. Returning to Britain, they settled into the Newlyn art colony in Cornwall. He first made paintings of natural, pastoral settings before immersing himself in the romantic, Pre-Raphaelite romantic style for which he is best known. His daughter was often a model for the colourful depictions of young girls. His works have been exhibited at the Royal Academy, Royal College of Art and the Paris Salon.

(Yo) me consagraré en adelante

exclusivamente al teatro, tal

como lo concibo,

un teatro de sangre,

un teatro que en cada representación

habrá hecho ganar

corporalmente

algo

tanto al que representa como al

que viene a representar,

por otra parte

uno no representa,

uno hace.

El teatro es en realidad la

génesis de la creación.

Yo estaba vivo

y estaba allí desde siempre

¿Comía yo?

Antonin Artaud
