Ubu Roi Alfred Jarry , Barbara Wright (Translator) , Franciszka Themerson (Illustrator) Ubu Roi Alfred Jarry , Barbara Wright (Translator) , Franciszka Themerson (Illustrator) One of the most extraordinary events of the late nineteenth century in Paris was the opening on December 11, 1896, at the Théâtre de l’Oeuvre, of Alfred Jarry’s play Ubu Roi. The audience was scandalized by this revolutionary satire, developed from a schoolboy farce, which began with a four-letter word, defied all the traditions of the stage, and ridiculed the established values of bourgeois society. Barbara Wright’s witty translation of this riotous work is accompanied with drawings by Franciszka Themerson. Two previously untranslated essays in which Jarry explains his theories of the drama have also been included.

It's also one of the ones that I find least interesting. It's basically juvenilia - striking in its clear rebelliousness & biting satire but not necessarily THAT great otherwise. Nonetheless, I HAVE 7 EDITIONS OF THIS - 4 IN ENGLISH, 1 IN SPANISH, & 2 IN FRENCH. & mon Français est minimale (et mauvais) & I don't speak Spanish at all. Each of the editions is interestingly different. This particular New Directions edition is illustrated by Franciszka Themerson & I don't even really like her drawings - but I still like the edition w/ its handwritten text & generally SCRAWLING layout. One of the English editions that I have is translated as "King Turd"! I haven't read that one yet - it claims to be the 1st complete edition of all of Jarry's Ubu writings. Book Wyrm says You could sum up this play in a single quote from its stage directions: 'Clown explodes'. A longer summary is difficult, and despite what I'd heard about this play, it seems less proto-Dada and more just ga-ga. Imagine Macbeth rewritten by a sadistic scat fetishist with some unwarranted hatred for Poland and you've bearly scratched the surface of something that is pretty much hollow. It's a series of weird gags and deliberate shock tactics, with the extremely rare amusing line; pure farce for farce's sake. Everything is deliberately ludicrous, some parts deliberately irritating, such as the list of people thrown through a trap door, that went on for (no joke) at least four sodding kindle pages. While there's something fun about Ubu Roi (albeit on the level of a fart gag) I feel annoyed for reading it, I think people who watched the play were annoyed for losing a few hours of their life, and I'm even more annoyed by the fact that's probably exactly the reaction Alfred Jarry wanted. John Allen says Jarry's perverse creation, "Ubu Roi", is now running the United States. Thus Jarry takes his place as the artist-prophet. Czarny Pies says Ubu roi est le grand classique du mouvement Dadaist en litterature. Je ne suis pas sur qu'il existe d'autres livres dans le genre mais peu importe un classique c'est un classique. Ubu roi est un excellent choix pour un professeur qui donne un cours de litterature francaise aux Anglophones. Apres avoir lutte avec Racine et Corneille, c'est toujours un plaisir de lire cet ouvrage qui est facile a lire et bourré de blagues cacaistes. PDF File: Ubu Roi... 4 Read and Download Ebook Ubu Roi... Gustl says Possiedo l'edizione Adelphi; che contiene le 4 commedie del ciclo di Ubu. Ubu è la marionetta più famosa del teatro francese subito dopo Guignol, che a sua volta si ispira ai burattini italiani. Le surreali vicende di Papà Ubu, sembrano uscite direttamente da quel capolavoro dell'assurdo che è "Gargantua & Pantagruele" di Rabelais; un mondo in cui il concetto di giusto e sbagliato è totalmente sovvertito, e dove la realtà si contamina col sogno, in un quadro allucinato e straniante. Il bretone Jerry, padre della patafisica: (scienza delle soluzioni immaginarie), è considerato il primo esponente del Teatro dell'assurdo, che prolifererà soprattutto grazie ad artisti del calibro di: Ionesco e Beckett, ma deve a mio avviso molto, all'immortale Rabelais e alle sue incredibili intuizioni. Il personaggio di Papà Ubu, ha ispirato tra gli altri, una band di garage rock americana degli anni 70 e tuttora attiva: i Pere Ubu. Io sono già un Ubucolo, e voi? Mazel says Merdre. Ubu, monument de la dramaturgie française, s'ouvre sur ce juron étonnant qui trouve ses origines dans l'esprit moqueur d'un lycéen rennais. Jarry n'a en effet que quinze ans lorsqu'il compose, dans la veine des gestes médiévales, cette pièce aux accents de grosse farce. Ubu, héros de troisième ordre qui synthétise à lui seul tous les travers humains possibles, devient roi de Pologne par un régicide grotesque. Son règne, sa déchéance et les savoureux dialogues qu'il échange avec la mère Ubu, manière de Lady Macbeth, la dimension tragique en moins, constituent les cinq actes de cette pièce conçue à l'origine comme un spectacle de marionnettes. Ubu roi, satire universelle de la stupidité et de la vulgarité, est peuplé de personnages types. Malgré son trait exagérément appuyé qui

" It seemed to me that the interrelation between these two sides: order in nature on the one side, and the human condition on the other, was the undefinable drama to be grasped, dealt with and communicated by me. - Franciszka Themerson, Bi-abstract Pictures, 1957 l’étrangère is delighted to present a solo exhibition of paintings, drawings and calligrammes by Franciszka Themerson - a seminal figure in the Polish pre-war avant-garde. She developed her unique pictorial language during the shifting years of pre- and post-war Europe, having settled in Britain in 1943. Together with her husband, writer, poet and filmmaker, Stefan Themerson, she was involved with experimental film and avant-garde publishing. Her personal domain, however, focused on painting, drawing, theatre sets and costume design. This exhibition brings together Franciszka’s three paintings completed in 1972 and a selection of drawings, dated from 1955 to 1986, which demonstrate the breadth of her work. ! The paintings: Piétons Apocalypse, A Person I Know and Coil Totem, act as anchors in the exhibition, while the drawings demonstrate the variety of motifs recurring throughout her work. The act of drawing and the key role of the line remain a constant throughout her practice. The images are characterised by a fluidity of line, rhythmic composition and the humorous depiction of everyday life.

Dubbed the ‘Father of Video Art’, Paik created videos, sculptures, installations, performances and television productions and was part of the experimental group Fluxus along with composer John Cage and artist George Maciunas, among others. Internet Dream consists of a video-wall of 52 monitors that form a large unified shifting collage of electronically processed images, originally commissioned by the German television broadcaster RTL for its Cologne headquarters. Paik believed that the medium of television could elicit viewer participation, as well as foster intercultural understanding. The work’s title demonstrates Paik’s interest in what was then the relatively new medium of the Internet and the possibilities it offered. The title of this exhibition, Electronic Superhighway, is borrowed from a term Paik coined in relation to the potential of telecommunication systems in 1974. 3 Jill Magid (b. 1973, Bridgeport, CT, USA) Surveillance Shoe 2000 Video 6 mins.

They’ve gone up the marble staircase, the cloud-staircase, and they’ve climbed higher towards On High, while I’ve been left down here, all alone. It’s true, the Heavens begin where the earth stops being hard and palpable, they start a quarter of a millimeter above the pavements and the grass. Yes, I I too am immersed in the Ocean of the Heavens, but I move through it as the crab movesJhrough the sea-with its claws. It’s because my soles and heels are stuck in the bed of the Ocean of the Heavens that I’ve been left down here, where I was born. Why did you lose patience, oh my Muses, why did you flee, why didn’t you wait until the end of the war?
