Le Mal du Ciel (the sickness of heaven): An Absurd, Artaudian Play

Abstract

White strobe lights illuminate the stage. The lights throughout the scene are used to suggest an Artaudian nightmare. The atmosphere is dark, unsettling and nightmarish. Sirens wail, horns beep, dogs howl, the beat of a nightclub’s drum can be heard in a cacophony of sound. The CHORUS is spread throughout the audience.
