PlayPigalle, Paris
🎭"a biting farce" (Le Figaro)
🎭"a dizzying dive into the mechanics of power" (Nice Matin)
💺Avoid extreme side seats near the stage
Alfred Jarry's Ubu roi returns to the very stage where it shocked Paris in 1896. Daniel Benoin's staging turns the cowardly tyrant's grotesque power grab into a biting mirror for our own political moment: funny, brutal, and uncomfortably current.
