Color poster. 41.5 x 26.5 cm. 100th Anniversary poster. Defects affecting the type. Ubu Roi is a parody of Macbeth in which a revolutionary (that's our Ubu!) kills the King of Poland and then does a number of other obscene things; a lot of the action is apparently outright nonsense. Ubu's first line is ? Merdre!?, the French word for shit with an extra r added. It's hard to translate misspelled expletives; How is one to duplicate, asked the translator Simon Watson. The majestic, tongue-rolling sonority of the word merdre, given only our bleak, unheroic shit to work on? Top of the poster reads: SHIT! Ubu Rules! 1896-1996. Bottom of poster reads: “Mere Ubu: Now look, Pere Ubu. What kind of king are you? You’re slaughtering everyone.”
Today in #LaborHistory 12/10/1896: #AlfredJarry play #Ubu Roi, premiered in Paris leading to a #riot. Precursor to #Dada, #Surrealism & Theatre of the Absurd. Uncanny resemblance between Ubu & #Trump. "Shit! Pere Ubu. What kind of king are you? You’re slaughtering everyone.”

La revue a été imprimée à la hussarde car une page du premier numéro de cette livraison a été malencontreusement pliée dans la presse à l’article blasphématoire d’Alfred Jarry. N’est-ce pas magnifique? Quelques ornements de George Auriol pour le plaisir des yeux. #typography #Avantgarde #AlfredJarry
