From statement, it seems that Artaud wanted actors to use their physicality instead of voice being used to convey/explain what was being shown. It seems that he wanted the interpretation to be up to the audience. This is similar to how poetry uses metaphor and simile that can be interpreted differently by everyone. Artaud had plays that often made people uncomfortable. He used uncanny valley a lot and things that messed with peoples' heads. This means that his plays may have had lots of different planes within them. This would have caused the viewer to feel a little uncomfortable. He may have used strange masks with almost human faces that had one feature very slightly out of proportion ( uncanny valley). There are other methods he could have used to "maintain a physical language aimed at the senses

I believe this quote emphasizes the importance of physical expression through abstracted movements. From the audience viewpoint, a more meaningful response is prompted as there is not so much a literal message coming across, but rather, one that can be interpreted in a multitude of ways.

This quote shows the importance for the senses to get stimulated. And I believe, in accordance with Artaud, that the best way for them to get stimulated is throughout a body language and some physical expressions. In addition, this way to transmit emotions works pretty well because the concerned people (the public and the actors) don't have to speak the same language because the physical language which aimed to stimulate de senses is someway international.

This was Artuad's way of saying that the conventional theatre of the time had lost it's true creative and artistic value.

The idea that a theatrical performance must be a multi-dimensional experience, not only impacting the mind (in the sense of a narrative or storyline), but also affect the senses as individuals and not disregard the primal human senses (which are considered to be more raw areas of understanding). The "story" or purpose must be more raw, with less conventional refinement, more working towards the idea of an unspoken human understanding,

Artaud wanted to focus on poetry that revolved around the senses that may or may not have logical sense. The senses being sound, sight, taste and touch will often be used and even abused to support a given message or meaning.

This quote shows Artaud's desire to stop censoring theatre, and to bring back more taboo, but important elements and themes, that may have been hidden or dismissed. The idea that the theatre is a place where unsafe, frightening, and controversial
ideas about society and existence can be addressed in a universal manner.

From what Artaud is saying here, we get the impression that he wanted to revolutionize theatre. He wanted to show us the negative and uncontrollable aspects of life. This is probably partially why Theatre of Cruelty is so cruel. Because it causes us to feel out of control. Everyone has aspects of their lives that they feel they are in control of, that they can rely on to happen. Theatre of Cruelty takes away that crutch and makes everyone watching feel swept off their feet and out of control through emulating the most unpredictable aspects of life.
