It has found out that (1) The presentation of the sensory experience and appeal to the subconscious through sexual and moral content (2) Assaulting the audience to shocking and disgusting by using lights, music, sound and action cruelty (3) Insufficiency of language by use of movement, visual poetry and improvisation (4) Involving the audience participation (5) Creating a dream world through ritual and tradition (6) The objective chance. Antonin Artaud’s Method developed into the style of “Impossible Theatre” and “Artaudian Technique” in the present.
