“[Alfred] Jarry’s teaching could be summarized thus: every man is capable of showing his contempt for the cruelty and stupidity of the universe by making his own life a poem of incoherence and absurdity.” ― Barbara Wright, Ubu Roi

V. Ubu Roi: Le Massacre du Roi de Pologne, by Joan Miró, 1966. Miró created a whole series of surrealistic paintings depicting scenes from the absurdist play Ubu Roi by Alfred Jarry, about a strange and unpleasant man who plots to become the king of Poland.

A room in Yume Nikki (2004) only accessible after touching the mysterious (and infamous) figure called Uboa, found at random in the house of a young woman who lives otherwise alone in a dream-world covered in snow. There is nothing you can do here, no way out but to wake up.

Nothing. I didn't include a third thing.

“Just as the poppy and the dandelion are scythed down in the flower of their youth by the pitiless scythe of the pitiless scyther who pitilessly scythes their pitiful pans, so poor Renski has played the pretty poppy’s pitiful part.” ― Alfred Jarry, Ubu Roi

Mica so cos’è,

Adesso so che c’era

Ero io a non…

Che me ne faccio, ora

Proprio non lo so ancora.
