About the event

The Trial of King Ubu
Dancing Tongue presents:
The Trial of King Ubu
(A Political Debacle/Dramatic Read-Through/in Seven Acts)
Kettle Art Gallery
2650 Main Street
Saturday August 16 at 5:00 PM

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.
This 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. They have performed in and around Dallas since 1988 at places such as Club DaDa’s famed Poetry Circus, Amy Martin’s Solsti-Celebrations, and the Dancing Tongue Literary Cabaret at the Undermain Theatre.
