This article studies the proximity of ideas between the Grand Guignol, Antonin Artaud’s theater of cruelty and surrealism, with the works Crime and La casa de Tócame Roque, both by Agustin Espinosa. These ideas revolve around a common theme: the study of extreme violence. Finally, the most violent passages of Espinosa’s works are highlighted and the position that emerges from these texts regarding the aforementioned concept is studied.
