Le 9 décembre 1896, un jeune homme crée le scandale en faisant jouer au Théâtre de l'Oeuvre une farce truculente, "Ubu roi". "Merdre!" Sitôt le premier mot lâché, la salle siffle, hue, rit, proteste : le public est insulté, les conventions théâtrales bousculées, le grotesque s'introduit dans le théâtre d'avant-garde. En mettant en scène les tribulations du Père Ubu - personnage cynique et ordurier, prêt à tout pour s'accaparer le pouvoir -, Jarry donne naissance à un véritable mythe. Blague de potache témoignant de l'inventivité d'un lycéen rennais ou "pamphlet philosophico-politique à gueule effrontée", selon le mot d'un journaliste d'alors, Ubu roi est d'abord un feu d'artifice verbal qui, plus d'un siècle plus tard, n'a rien perdu de sa saveur.

This long-awaited biography of Alfred Jarry reconstructs a life both "ubuesque" and pataphysical.

When Alfred Jarry died in 1907 at the age of thirty-four, he was a legendary figure in Paris—but this had more to do with his bohemian lifestyle and scandalous behavior than his literary achievements. A century later, Jarry is firmly established as one of the leading figures of the artistic avant-garde.

Even so, most people today tend to think of Alfred Jarry only as the author of the play Ubu Roi, and of his life as a string of outlandish “ubuesque” anecdotes, often recounted with wild inaccuracy. In this first full-length critical biography of Jarry in English, Alastair Brotchie reconstructs the life of a man intent on inventing (and destroying) himself, not to mention his world, and the “philosophy” that defined their relation.

Brotchie alternates chapters of biographical narrative with chapters that connect themes, obsessions, and undercurrents that relate to the life. The anecdotes remain, and are even augmented: Jarry's assumption of the “ubuesque,” his inversions of everyday behavior (such as eating backward, from cheese to soup), his exploits with gun and bicycle, and his herculean feats of drinking. But Brotchie distinguishes between Jarry's purposely playing the fool and deeper nonconformities that appear essential to his writing and his thought, both of which remain a vital subterranean influence to this day.

In 1909 werd het 'Futuristisch Manifest' gepubliceerd. Twee jaar eerder had Picasso met zijn schilderij 'Les demoiselles d'Avignon' een totaal nieuwe beeldperceptie geïntroduceerd. Daarna ontstonden in snel tempo nieuwe artistieke stromingen als kubisme, dadaïsme, constructivisme en surrealisme. De standpunten van deze avantgarde t.a.v. het theater waren zeer verschillend en leidden tot verrassende en soms schokkende voorstellingen. De nieuwe inzichten die ze op de planken en in manifesten propageerden, hebben tot vandaag de wereld van de podiumkunsten sterk beïnvloed. Deze publicatie belicht de relatie tussen de verschillende avantgardebewegingen en het Europese theaterleven tijdens het interbellum.
