Dancing Tongue presents The Trial of King Ubu, a political debacle and dramatic read-through in seven acts. These perilous political times, which have come to celebrate juvenile cruelty, hateful sarcasm, incompetent narcissism and cheap crudity, demand a corresponding theater of cruel juvenility, sarcastic hate, narcissistic incompetence and crude cheapness.
Into the breach jumps a reunited Dancing Tongue to stage a contemporary reconcraptualization of Alfred Jarry’s Ubu Roi, the ground-breaking and scandalous play often hailed as the beginning of DaDa. The performance is part of the current Kettle Art Gallery’s "Viva la Revolution" show. Dancing Tongue is a poetry-performance collective which utilizes all manner of genre, discipline, and technology for the common good.
