Pere Ubu in the Passionskirche in Berlin
After more than 30 years David Thomas has finally brought us his adaptation of Ubu Roi, Alfred Jarry’s famous absurdist play after which Pere Ubu was named, the band of which Thomas has been frontman and singer all this time.
On 3 October Pere Ubu performed “Bring me the head of Ubu Roi” in the Passionskirche in Berlin as part of their current European tour, featuring electronics wizard Gagarin, and animation by The Brothers Quay. As always drummer Steve Mehlman and bass player Michele Temple did a brilliant job in keeping the performance on track.
