Ubu Roi (Ubu the King or King Ubu) is a play by Alfred Jarry. It was first performed in Paris at the Théâtre de l'Œuvre, causing a riotous response in the audience as it opened and closed on December 10, 1896. It is considered a wild, bizarre and comic play, significant for the way it overturns cultural rules, norms, and conventions. For those who were in the audience on that night to witness the response, including William Butler Yeats, it seemed an event of revolutionary importance. It is now seen by some to have opened the door for what became known as modernism in the twentieth century. It is a precursor to Dada, Surrealism and the Theatre of the Absurd. It is the first of three stylised burlesques in which Jarry satirises power, greed, and their evil practices — in particular the propensity of the complacent bourgeoisie to abuse the authority engendered by success.
The title is sometimes translated as King Turd; however, the word "Ubu" is actually merely a nonsense word that evolved from the French pronunciation of the name "Herbert", which was the name of one of Jarry's teachers who was the satirical target and inspirer of the first versions of the play.

Alfred Jarry (French: [ʒaʁi]; 8 September 1873 – 1 November 1907) was a French Symbolist writer who is best known for his play Ubu Roi (1896). He also coined the term and philosophical concept of 'pataphysics.
Jarry was born in Laval, Mayenne, France, and his mother was from Brittany. He was associated with the Symbolist movement. His play Ubu Roi (1896) is often cited as a forerunner of Dada, and to the Surrealist and Futurist movements of the 1920s and 1930s. Jarry wrote in a variety of hybrid genres and styles, prefiguring the postmodern. He wrote plays, novels, poetry, essays and speculative journalism. His texts present us with pioneering work in the fields of absurdist literature and postmodern philosophy.
At the lycée in Rennes when he was 15, he led a group of boys who enjoyed poking fun at their well-meaning, but obese and incompetent physics teacher, a man named Hébert. Jarry and his classmate, Henri Morin, wrote a play they called Les Polonais and performed it with marionettes in the home of one of their friends. The main character, Père Heb, was a blunderer with a huge belly, three teeth (one of stone, one of iron and one of wood), a single, retractable ear and a misshapen body. In Jarry's later work Ubu Roi, Père Heb would develop into Ubu, one of the most monstrous and astonishing characters in French literature.

The Guardian (on Andromaque) In 2007, Peter Brook invited Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod to form a group of actors to perform Racine's ANDROMAQUE.

Alfred Jarry's menacing depiction of a despot was outlawed after its first performance in 1896. Causing outrage with scandalous language and animalistic brutality, its satire showed the worst excesses of greed and abuse of power. A sell-out in 2013, Ubu Roi is the second triumphant production by Cheek by Jowl to be revived this season.

You can’t find nicer dudes in Seattle than the guys in Ubu Roi. They also bring the riffs. Bridging punk rock and metal, these guys just want a place to plug in and less speeding tickets. Listen in as we talk about poop way too much and hear them hum their favorite riffs. Outro music by Cheap Clones.
Mon avis sur "Ubu Roi" de Declan Donnellan, pièce vue au Grand T à Nantes, le 04/10/2014. Ceci est mon avis, des pistes d'analyses et de réflexions, il va de soit qu'il faudrait revoir la pièce pour confirmer ou infirmer mes premières notes.
that's just the way it is
made my way back to the top
never thought you'd see me again
but guess who's beatin'
that's just the way it is
played the game and now you're gone
open your eyes and look around
there's a new sheriff in town
ah yeah surprise surprise
bet you never thought you'd see me burn so bright
yo soy caliente como el sol
bet you didn't know what i would be like
when i found my pride
when i hit my stride
don't even try put out the fire
you lie estupido
oh no
not even a notion of emotion
with the motion of the ocean
on my soul
get me down
your foolish ways will only serve to make you drown
that's right
whatever trick
tu lo veras
you'll see
i pee pee now
bounce
that's just the way it is
made my way back to the top
never thought you'd see me again
but guess who's beatin'

open your eyes and look around
there's a new sheriff in town
hay cono
porque
can you tell me why
there's always got to be some fucking negativity
basta ya
you'd think by now and after everything we've been through
we'd put our differences aside
and say whassup fool
but nevermind
i'm not here for preaching
just for rock 'n roll
a little dash of azuquita sweeten up my flow
latina mama finally got her time
pave the way
cock the glock
you will obey
now muevete
that's just the way it is
made my way back to the top
never thought you'd see me again
but guess who's beatin'
that's just the way it is

open your eyes and look around
there's a new sheriff in town
que pasa dude
te sorprende que yo
he llegado a tanto
como los tiempos han cambiado
a mi no me importa lo que diga la gente
no me importa lo que piensen
las malas lenguas siempre seguiran hablando y criticando
a mi no me ofenden
los que se dediquen a rebajar a los demas
son los mismos que pagaran
y algun dia se tendran
que enfrentar con la verdad
no escupes pa' arriba
porque en la cara te caera
that's just the way it is
made my way back to the top
never thought you'd see me again
but guess who's beatin'
that's just the way it is
played the game and now you're gone
open your eyes and look around
there's a new sheriff in town
that's just the way it is
that's just the way it is
that's just the way it is
no no no no no no no no no
what's the matter what's the matter
lost your swagger
now you're fronted out
thought you'd be all the rage
assuming you could keep me down
i know
it's such a blow to your self-confidence
you got no defense
too bad
you should've recognized the opportunity you had
you could've been an ally
now you're all alone and mad
mopin' around outside my gigs
watchin' my peoples comin' in
party on
oppera house packed
prackata
that's just the way it is
made my way back to the top
never thought you'd see me again
