Late-1800s: Pere Ubu shocks the Paris theatre going audience and causes rioting in the seats when the first word he utters is considered profanity. Ubu Roi (“Ubu the king”) begins as a Punch-and-Judy show, with the Ubus—Mère and Père Ubu… Actor Firmin Gernier stepped forward to speak the opening line—“Merdre!” (translated as “Shifter!”). Rather than attempting to create any type of consistent or conventional characterization, the Ubu company is a company of clowns that seems to be making-up the characters as they go along, employing anything from song-and-dance, stand-up comedy, acrobatics, to low farce and mime. A bear right out of The Winter’s Tale eats most of Ubu’s army near the end. Jarry died in a charity hospital in Paris on November 1,1907.

As Andre Breton explained in Free Rein, “Beginning with Jarry... the differentiation long considered necessary between art and life has been challenged, to wind up annihilated as a principle.”, It is odd that so much attention has been paid to a play that has not been performed that many times since its debut in 1896.

Rainey in an essay in the Wascana Review noted that “Ubu is at once a commentary on and a revolt against the world in which Jarry lived.” Anarchy, greed, corruption, and cowardice all play prominent roles in Ubu Roi. The Jarry plot is the basic scene-by-scene scenario for Irondale’s Ubu. The entire dramatic experience had been fashioned into something new and different. Several are trampled in the mad rush. The original character of Pere Ubu was first seen as a marionette. » Lors de la représentation, on se bat entre spectateurs et critiques, et le scandale assure la gloire de l’auteur.

Meanwhile, in order to placate the Poles and satisfy his greed, Ubu offers the people gold that he reclaims through taxation. The rules, of course, were there were no rules. Clearly, Jarry’s play is a rebellion against bourgeois values, ethics and “good taste.” The Irondale Ensemble attempts to extend this revolt further not simply by rebelling against Jarry’s text but by the company’s revolt against the notion of the fixed text and their refusal to accept the authoritarian restraints imposed upon conventional theater performance. ), Another important element for Jarry is that the actor have a “special voice.” The voice must be “appropriate to the part, as if the cavity forming the mouth of the mask were incapable of uttering anything other than what the mask would say.” The Ubu’s grotesqueness evokes caricature and disbelief. Grossman, Manual L. “Alfred Jarry and the Theater of his Time” in Modern Drama, May, 1970, pp. Bourdure kills King Venceslas of Poland, paving the way for Pere Ubu to become the king. For “a public of artists” (as opposed to the general public), each audience member should be able to see a play in a decor that does not “clash with his own view of it.” The general public, on the other hand, can be shown any “artistic” decor because “the masses do not understand anything by themselves, but wait to be told how to see things.” A colorless background, an unpainted backdrop or the reverse side of a set, can allow the spectator to “conjure up for himself the background he requires.” Better still, Jarry continues in this essay, “the spectator can imagine, by a process of exosmosis [the passage of gases or liquids through membranes], that what he sees on the stage is the real decor.

Alfred Jarry’s view of a new theater centered on two conditions: the need to “create new life” in the theater by creating a new type of character and the need to transcend the “things that happen all the time to the common man.” Pere Ubu fulfills the definition of the new type of character—as did Jarry himself.

As for the need to transcend everyday actions and situations, Jarry advanced a type of “shock treatment.” Ubu’s opening line (“Merdre!”) accomplished that rather handily. Instead, Jarry used descriptive placards and representational devices (a single actor for a parade of soldiers; wicker mannequins for the nobles) to shock his blockhead audience “so that we can tell from their bear-like grunts where they are—and also how they stand.”, Nearly every anti-realist artistic movement of the twentieth century used Jarry’s confrontational dramatic format as a model.

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 La pièce est d'abord publiée dans une revue parisienne, Le Livre d'art au cours de l'année 1896.

But, argued Church, with two World Wars and the rise of dictators, Pere Ubu has changed from the symbol of the revolutionary to the embodiment of all that they are revolting against: the shining emblem of totalitarianism, the perfect representation of bourgeois bureaucracy, and the poster boy for the insanity of war and mass murder.
