Fadjr 31st Theatre Festival hosting Hungarian “King Ubu”

As reported by the News Headquarter of 31st Fadjr International Theatre Festival, King Ubu, being performed in the International Section of the Festival, is the work of “Maladype” Theatre Troupe casting by Ákos Orosz , Zoltán Lendváczky, Gábor Jászberényi, and Zsolt Páll. 
Alfred Jarry’ writings are considered to be among the very first dramatic works of Absurd Theatre. “Ubu King” is the most famous one. The first draft, which has been performed by Jarry himself in 1888, in his school attic, tells a story of a school boy who becomes a laughing-stock. The play centers round the naïve manner of King Ubu representing the bourgeoisie class of France society. Maladype performance is a mixture of buffoonery and fantasy which is being displayed creatively and energetically.
