	Ubu Roi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ubu Roi (King Ubu) is a play developed by Alfred Jarry.
		Like Macbeth, Ubu murders the king who has helped him on the urging of his wife, usurps the throne and is in turn defeated and killed by the dead man's sons.
		Ubu Roi was later adapted into William Kentridge's "Ubu Roi and the Truth Commission" in 1996, a play that many believe criticized the South African Truth and Reconcilliation Commission, which was created in 1996 in response the atrocities committed during Apartheid.

	Pere Ubu (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pere Ubu have consistently conducted their affairs as they see fit, regardless of convention: They refuse to discuss or explain their sometimes odd music, forgoing the usual banter of newspaper and press interviews.
		Pere Ubu's debut single was "30 Seconds Over Tokyo" (inspired by the "Doolittle Raid" and named after a film depicting the raid), backed with "Heart of Darkness"; followed by "Final Solution" in 1976.
		In their songs, Pere Ubu imagined 1950s and 1960s garage rock and surf music archetypes as seen in a distorting funhouse mirror, emphasising the music's angst, loneliness and lyrical paranoia.

	'UBU ROI'
		Ubu Roi created a scandal when it was first performed in the Theatre de l’Oeuvre in Paris in 1896 and was described by André Gide as "the most extraordinary thing seen in the theatre for a long time".
		The figure of Père Ubu was to be a potent one for Jarry, who became obsessed by his creation, to the point that he began to imitate him, adopting an odd way of speaking, referring to himself as ‘Père Ubu’ and behaving in a highly eccentric, Ubuesque manner.
		Ubu Roi attracted critical acclaim, puzzlement and curiosity."...as exciting a piece of modern book publication as we have ever seen" claimed New Directions Books in their catalogue in January 1952; a "striking example of brains and imagination in book production" commented a writer in Ark, Journal of the Royal College of Art, 1954).

	UBU AND THE TRUTH COMMISSION : HANDSPRING PUPPET COMPANY - cutting edge Puppet Theatre
		Ubu Roi follows the political, military, and criminal exploits of the grandiose and rapacious Ubu, a kind of parodic Macbeth who, together with his wife, attempts to seize all power for himself.
		Ubu's weapons are a pshittasword and a pshittashook, and his sceptre is by tradition a lavatory brush, a stage prop which you will see appear in our production.
		Ubu's story is, at one level, a singular story of individual pathology; yet it is at the same time an exemplary account of the relationships between capitalist ideology, imperialism, race, class, and gender, religion and modernisation in the southern African sub-region.

	Ubu Article
		When Ubu has to think hard or soliloquize, he retreats to his toilet seat; the cue for the beginning of Ubu's coup d'etat is the password "shit." Pa Ubu (Josh Broder) is not a fully realized "character," but a grab-bag of comic techniques, most often the comic straight man or the deadpan stand-up comic.
		Ubu redistributes the wealth ("Ninety per cent of the wealth for me!"), double-crosses everyone and is transformed from "a skinny little runt" to a bloated hedonist with pillows padding his belly.
		Pa Ubu is so likable ("the Santa Claus of the Atomic Age" as one critic has put it) not because he is a negation of bourgeois values, but their apotheosis.

	Pere Ubu Bio (Site not responding. Last check: )
		It is obvious that (the history of) Pere Ubu should not be thought of in terms of a linear development-- reducing its entire operation and presence to an exclusive concern for 'working and succeeding in' rock and roll.
		Unfortunately, most criticism-- of Pere Ubu, of many other folks-- assumes that words have one meaning, that desires point in a single direction, that ideas are logical; it ignores the fact that the world of language, noise and desire is one of lack, insecurity, interruption, struggle, blundering, disguises, ploys, embarrassed grins.
		Pere Ubu was either ahead of its time or out of step altogether; the band's earliest music sounds as if it could have been recorded yesterday, and is likely to keep sounding that way for some time.

	Ubu Roi
		Alfred Jarry, author of the Ubu plays, inventor of "Pataphysics", and "eccentric to the point of mania and lucid to the point of hallucination," became the focal point of both outrage and awe.
		Jarry became the adopted father of the symbolists, the surrealists, and the family tree has been drawn to the futurist and dada movements and on to the absurdists.
		Performances of Ubu Roi are July 16-August 1, Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 p.m., Sundays at 7:00 at Actors Workshop, 40 Boylston Street, Boston.

	The History of Rock Music. Pere Ubu: history, discography, reviews, links
		The modern dance of Pere Ubu is a funeral rite for humanity after the catastrophe: there is the anguish of an inescapable fate, there is the agony and the delirium, the slow decay into the shapelessness, the immaterial chaos of the soul.
		Pere Ubu here arrive at a point of maturity which enables them to delineate each track with total mastery of means and with a formal elegance that succeeds wonderfully in not jarring with the barbaric impetus.
		Pere Ubu's major contribution to musical history is without doubt that of the "modern dance", a form of dance which borrows from primitive ritual, from funk, from garage-rock and from the music of the avant-garde.

	TrouserPress.com :: Pere Ubu
		It includes two songs remade from early 45s that Pere Ubu had released on its Hearthan label (when Thomas was calling himself Crocus Behemoth and the late Peter Laughner was one of the sextet's guitarists and main songwriters).
		Pere Ubu formally reformed in late 1987, but all that actually meant was a name change and inclusion of Scott Krauss in the lineup of Thomas' most recent solo support band, the Wooden Birds.
		Prior to his stint in Ubu, Jones played with a number of seminal bands, ranging from the psychedelically inclined Mirrors (which survived from 1974 well into the '90s, although Jones split in the first decade) to the aforementioned Home and Garden.

	The Theatre of a Two-Headed Calf: Ubu Roi (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The set and the props of Ubu Roi were a significant part of the “magic of theater” that we eventually destroyed and redefined.
		This embarrassing disruption of the play’s narrative was followed by Ubu’s entrance, in which he immediately ripped the cave painting from the laundry lines (hopefully, evoking more pity from the audience for the stage hands, as well as inciting some more disgust for Ubu/Ryan).
		These props were used to signify that the Royal Ubus themselves had once been the same people who were now their subjects; and by abusing their subjects, they were, in a sense, abusing themselves, or at least their own kind.

		And so Pere Ubu issued the very word that the finally threw the audience at the Theatre de l'Oeuvre into a frothing frenzy, during the 1896 staging of Alfred Jarry's (1873-1907) infamous Ubu Roi.
		Ubu, Jarry's main character, had appeared before, in the playwright's schooldays, when he and his friends constructed elaborate puppet shows, parodying their teachers.
		Ubu, enjoying his new found Kingdom, soon lets it get to his head, and starts 'debraining' any dissenters, and demanding triple tax.

		Ubu was part of a fertile Ohio rock scene that also fostered Tin Huey and Devo.
		Thomas announced that he was now ready to become the producer for Pere Ubu and that was what he was going to do.

		Père Ubu was invented by the French author Alfred Jarry at the beginning of the 20th century.

	Alfred JARRY
		For the premier of Ubu Roi at Lugné-Poe's Théâtre de l'Oeuvre, a crowd of intellectuals and invited friends had gathered at the Théâtre Nouveau in the Rue Blanche expecting something new and exciting.
		Ubu Roi itself was not produced again until 1908, the year after Jarry's death.
		The story of Ubu Roi's premier has been told again and again, but a lot of the facts have been convoluted by time, sloppy academics, and the fallacy of the human memory.

		Ubu Roi eliminates the dramatic action from its Shakespearean antecedents and uses scatological humor and farce to present Jarry’s views on art, literature, politics, the ruling classes, and current events.

	Barnes & Noble.com Music - The Modern Dance -- Pere Ubu - CD
		But the core of Pere Ubu was - -and is -- the unique presence of front man David Thomas.
		The gargantuan singer's high-pitched wail increases the urgency of the angst-ridden screamer "Life Stinks" and adds to the general chaos of "Non-Alignment Pact." While there's a palpable darkness in these grooves, the hues are far more challenging than the fl-and-white worldview favored by the punks who were simultaneously squalling about similar stuff.
		For sure, Mercury had no idea what they had on their hands when they released this as part of their punk rock offshoot label Blank, but it remains a classic slice of art-punk.

	David Ball, translation of Ubu roi, Alfred Jarry (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Contemporary slang is mixed with fake archaisms; highfalutin literary vocabulary and diction—most often wildly incorrect—brusquely alternate with vulgar language and the linguistic and physical gestures of slapstick farce.
		Ubu's consistent use of invented oaths (like the "candlestick" above) and a whole vocabulary of recurrent neologisms all contribute to the construction of Ubuese, or Ubuench.
		When Ubu was first put on, people were offended by the unrestrained juvenility of it all: the language is not so much obscene as childishly scatological.
