Jarry, Ubú Patagónico (2023)

Jan 12, 2023 N/A

With scenes at times current and at others medieval, dramatic or overloaded with useless gestures, Jarry, Ubú Patagónico is a dialogue with “Ubú Rey”, by Alfred Jarry, and his decalogue about theatre. The work also explores Jarry's non-theatrical texts until the material is appropriated in its immateriality by a group of Patagonian Indians who take Mother Ubú prisoner.
