Theatre Of Cruelty: Gaga For Artaud

As section one develops, we see the woman collapsing to the ground before writhing at the foot of the cloth, the pressure pushing down on her, forcing convulsions, binding her to the ground. Exhibiting solely low and medium levels, conjointly with contrasting dynamics of sustained and vibratory or percussive movements, the woman reaches out to the audience, provoking involvement, and emotional attachment. Her determination and longing for freedom is oppressed as the representational movements manifest. The dancer ascends to an erect position, wrapping the cloth around her and stepping on it, binding herself to the ground. These introverted, constrained movements convey to the audience the dancer's struggle, particularly when combined with the myriad of literal and abstracted movements. The audience are shown her struggle against not only the symbolic interpretation of the ground as her work and the pressure placed upon her to work, but also the literal meaning of being bound and specifically the

This challenge considers that the various situations the individual faces help shape character, which means that an individual’s character does not remain stagnant, but the individual’s perception of society does. Lady Gaga’s personal story debases such challenge. In 2014, Lady Gaga revealed that she had been raped at the age of nineteen. Such a dramatic event, shaped her character as she had now become a victim of sexual abuse, and thus changed the way she saw the world. Lady Gaga is twenty-nine today, ten years after the occurrence of her abuse. Based on the challenge to the narrator’s assertion, what happened to Lady Gaga would have had no effect on the way she saw the world; her perception of the world would have remained definitive. But, as was the case with Mr. Dimmesdale, Gaga’s character, as a victim, has shaped and continues to shape how she lives life and how she sees the world. Lady Gaga’s character certainly defined her perceptions of reality, as since the moment of her tragic ordeal, Gaga has applied this aspect of her character to her career, the same way Dimmesdale applied his character to his profession in the Gospel. With songs like Swine, Til It Happens To You, and her contribution to the sexual abuse documentary The Hunting Ground, it is evident that Gaga’s character, as a victim of sexual abuse

"There is in every madman a misunderstood genius whose idea, shining in his head, frightened people, and for whom delirium was the only solution to the strangulation that life had prepared for him."

She says the continual reinvention is "liberating" herself, which she has been drawn to since childhood.[213] Gaga is a contralto with a range spanning from B♭2 to B5[214][215][216][217] She has changed her vocal style regularly, and considers Born This Way "much more vocally up to par with what I've always been capable of".[218][219] In summing up her voice, Entertainment Weekly wrote: "There's an immense emotional intelligence behind the way she uses her voice. Almost never does she overwhelm a song with her vocal ability, recognizing instead that artistry is to be found in nuance rather than lung power."[220] Gaga's early songs have been called "depthless" by writer Camille Paglia in The Sunday Times,[221] but according to Evan Sawdey of PopMatters, she "does manage to get you moving and grooving at an almost effortless pace".[222] Gaga believes that "all good music can be played on a piano and still sound like a hit".[223] Simon Reynolds wrote in 2010, "Everything about Gaga came from electroclash, except the music, which wasn't particularly 1980s, just ruthlessly catchy naughties pop glazed with Auto-Tune and undergirded with R&B-ish

He exclaims that we give entirely too much credit to old masterpieces of past times. Artaud even wants museums to disappear so that something new can be there. He believed the power of new art, which gave the mystery that people were greedy for, was far greater than that of masterpieces. In Artaud’s opinion, old art is simply outdated, and it does not need to be made anymore. The art of past was formatted for its time, such as the refined language in Sophocles’ Oepidus Rex. Just as it was for that time, new art should constantly be made to cater to the needs of the modern world. Old art is not bad. There is just no need for it to posted as the epitome of good art. Artaud does not want to live in the past. He wants to the live in the now. To him, if theatre ever becomes an inferior art, it is because old art has revealed to much of its illusion and falsehood. He even accuses Shakespeare for threatening the life of theatre. One of Artaud’s solution to getting rid of masterpieces was theatre of cruelty. He wanted to disrupt the relationship between and audience and performer by going beyond word and connecting with emotions. The purpose of theatre to him was to confront the audience about modern issues through a deeper level. This is how theatre could possibly put an end to war, riots, and
