A farce in which the author, a pataphysicist, cyclist, absinthe drinker, bizarre eccentric Alfred Jarry, now considered the father of surrealism, absurd theatre and the avant-garde, have gathered "all the ridiculousness of the world." King Ubu. A shameless grotesque about the perversity of daily live. The rise and fall of a hypocrite, an egoist and a bare-faced fool who will do anything to get what he wants. His philosophy of life is outrageous, his actions debauched. Enemies are murdered, subjects are corrupted, freedom cannot stand. Dictatorship is more convenient.

With Miroslav Donutil as Father Ubu and Ivana Hloužková as his Precious Consort. Director: Vladimír Morávek.
