okay, a couple of footnotes from this page:

10 Automatiste theatre is represented mainly by Claude Gauvreau, who wrote numerous works for the theatre. His play La Charge de l'orignal épormyable (The Charge of the
Horrinormous Moose--my translation) was staged for the first time in 1970 by the group Zéro. It was cancelled during the third performance because one of the actors refused to continue before such a small audience. Crête was the only performer in that production who had a theatre background. The contact with Gauvreau had a profound influence on Crête, who came to understand that theatre was a creative process that could somehow alter the lives of the participants.
11 C. Gauvreau's earlier works, Les Entrailles and Faisceau d'épingles de verre, among others, are written in
his "langue exploréenne." Influenced by the abstract painting process of Borduas and his fellow "automatistes,"
Gauvreau created a parallel form of abstraction for the written text: groups of vowels and consonants that had no relation to the semantic or syntactic structures of French were conceived as written symbols that captured the intense feelings and sounds of spantaneous impulses produced in highly charged emotional settings. See the discussion in Ray Ellenwood (195-201)
