This is a piece I’ve done with chorals and piano inspired by the drawings and texts Antonin Artaud made during the last period of his life while he was incarcerated in a mental asylum, before dying. While Artaud was there he filled several exercise notebooks (those for children schools) with texts, strange totemic images, pierced bodies and enigmatic machines. Two months before dying he made the last one and titled it ‘50 Drawings to Murder Magic’. It was the very last thing he wrote.
