“UBU” is inspired by Ubu Roi (1896) by Alfred Jarry — a provocative and absurdist satire of war, tyranny, and power, whose grotesque central figure remains alarmingly relevant today. This new production is directed by the legendary Robert Wilson — a pioneer of avant-garde theatre and founder of a unique stage language that blends light, movement, and sound into sculptural performance. One of the most influential directors of our time, Wilson transforms Jarry’s anarchic vision into a striking, dreamlike experience.
