Event: "Ubo Roi"

Date: Feb 4

Time: 7:30pm

Description:

Portland's newest theatre ensemble comes together for love of the classic surrealist play "Ubu Roi" at Space Gallery. This new adaptation of the 1896 script is directed by Tess Van Horn and performed by a serious cast of ridiculous people. Based loosely on Shakespeare's "Macbeth" and wirtten over a hundered years ago by Alfred Jarry, this story follows a husband and wife as they attempt to be the rulers of the land. Jarry satirezes Western philosophies and the propensity of the complacent bourgeoisie to abuse their authority engendered by success. Following in the absurdist tratditions of the original show, the ensemble will incoporate puppets, confusion, a fat suit and accompaniment by local musicians. Showing one night only. $10 suggested donation.
