Bilingual version of the radio play by Antonin Artaud
In November 1947, the French radio station offered the literary eccentric Antonin Artaud to prepare a radiophonic lecture for the programme 'La voix des poètes'. Artaud, back in Paris after a nine-year stay in psychiatric clinics, saw the chance to give another sample of his 'Theatre of Cruelty'.
Schluss mit dem Gottesgericht" was rehearsed and recorded over six days. However, the radio play was taken out of the programme one day before the broadcast date 'because of impropriety'.
The piece can be heard in the original French version with a dubbing track that can be adjusted by the listener.
