Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions based on the passage:
Antonin Artaud was associated with Surrealism and avant-garde theatre. His eventual departure from Surrealism made him develop the Theatre of Cruelty and publish its theories in the work called Theatre and Its Double. He removed the barrier between the performers and the audience. He made use of oversized props, lightning effects, groans, screams and verbal incantations to strike the audience's emotions and senses with an array of technical effects in order to make them face the unreal, ugly and grotesque pain.
