| Your Personal Biography |
"TheaterOfCrueltyNOH" was founded in 2000 by a well-known esoteric philosopher, poet and metaextremalist ASSAKRA (or as he is called in the world Mass Media: "Master of Death" and "Emperor of Suicide").
"TheaterOfCrueltyNOH" is an aesthetic-philosophical synthesis of the French "Theatre of Cruelty" Antonin Artaud and "Medieval Japanese Ritual and Magic Theatre Noh" as well as of the "Russian Magnetize Wordmathograph" by ASSAKRA.
Revenge the Beauty
For every Hurricane,
Killed with Roses!
Our Art originated from the Poetry of Chaos. Ancient Magic Poetry is the cultural and aesthetic basis for photography. We are soldiers of POETRYHORROR! "TheaterOfCrueltyNOH ASSAKRA" has already published 3 photo albums in Russia: "BLADES", "S sexus S", "OPUS TRANSFORMATIONIS: CHAOS'S PASSWORD and HYPNOSIS".
In contrast to other "Theatres of Cruelty", which exist in the world, we came to the principle of genuine, real but not artificial blood. We ourselves have characterized this period of this work as "The End of the Stage and a Blood Flow", in contrast to Antonin Artaud with his theory of "Filet de Sang" (small blood stream). The actor was changed for metaactor with his only truth: "Gesture of the Absolute Horror". Ritual substituted the play. Initiation and Trans substituted the falsificated human feelings. The conception of the "Metaphysical Cruelty" was created in order to protect the tenderness and initial purity of the feelings. That was the last chance to win back genuine reality of the human "I" from the "Universal Illusion and Simulation". But this "bloody metaphors" were only a prologue to quit the Stage and come to the "Art of the Total Photography".
The first principle of "TheatreOfCrueltyNOH" became the principle of leading to the maximum limit of two supposedly opposite feelings of cruelty and tenderness, beauty and death. One should have forced the second! This alchemical synthesis of the photography should have inevitably destroy the scheme of habitual reactions and cause through the angle of maximum tension the state of the "Recognizable Chaos" as well to deliver the inner pulsation of life.
The Pure Cruelty must have protected the Pure Tenderness! But this did not correspond to the laws and principles of art. And the law itself. However, from the point of view of the Spirit, cruelty means severity, uncompromising decision and ruthless fulfillment. Here the creator should possess maximum courage. And that can only possible in the "Art of the Metaphysical Photography".
The second principle of "TheatreOfCrueltyNOH" is the attempt to synthesize and join in the photography all the Rituals and Initiations which have been known since ancient times. Magic Gesture became the Indestructible Basis. This is so as Gean Bataille would have said: This process became the "revelation of the Experience of the Absolute Negativeness". But here was one drawback: the audience was scared. The horrifying and scaring of the audience was permanent. But that did not mean anything for us, because, frankly speaking, we always wanted to have Other Civilization without of fear before the purity and genuinety. Even if this genuinety are Pain, Blood and Death.
Jaque Derrida has said in his book "The Gift of Death": "The secret of death keep and guard the human". The Art of the Photography is one of the most powerful opportunities to prove this concept of "The Gift of Death'. If we appreciate the dignity of life, so how we can't appreciate the dignity of the beauty of death?
We started to combine the Art of Photography with the art of Cinema. We started making films. This tendency is called "Trance Cinema" and "Trance Photography". The following films were created: "Art of Playing with Death", The Flowers of the Black Sakura", "Instinctive Critique" and "Nirvananevermore". We have a great variety of quite different photos, starting from the most horrifying and up to charming with their beauty ones. The most rough and the most delicate works complement each other as the tiger's paw strike complements the lotus petals opening.
