Jarry Inside Out at Spooky Action Theater

19th century French writer Alfred Jarry became known as a pioneer in the fields of absurdist literature and postmodern philosophy. His monstrous anti-hero character Père Ubu launched the modern era of Dada, Surrealism and Theater of the Absurd. With Jarry Inside Out, you can get a glimpse inside the life of this quizzical literary figure. Catherine Tripp directs the D.C. staging of this production, which is freely adapted from Jarry's life and works. Mixing biography with the unbridled inner-imagination of Spooky Action Theater artistic director Richard Henrich, Jarry Inside Out shines a light on the outré artist's legacy and chronicles his rabble-rousing, convention-shattering journey.
