Père Ubu ( later: Ubu Roi ), from a drawing by Alfred Jarry

After his death, Pablo Picasso, fascinated with Jarry, acquired his pistol and wore it on his nocturnal expeditions in Paris, and later bought many of his manuscripts as well as executing a fine drawing of him.

Likewise, the concept of ' Pataphysics –" the science of imaginary solutions "– first presented in Jarry's Gestes et opinions du docteur Faustroll, pataphysicien ( Exploits and Opinions of Dr. Faustroll, pataphysician ) was inspirational to many later Absurdists, some of whom joined the Collège de ' pataphysique, founded in honor of Jarry in 1948 ( Ionesco, Arrabal, and Vian were given the title Transcendent Satrape of the Collège de ' pataphysique ).

They played their home games at Jarry Park Stadium and later in the Olympic Stadium.

This station is named for rue Jarry, which in turn commemorates Bernard Bleignier dit Jarry, who received a concession in 1700 that later became the village of Saint-Laurent.

In the early 1960s, with the arrival of director Jan Grossman, set designer Libor Fára and a stage hand and later dramaturg and playwright Václav Havel, the Theatre on the Balustrade became the centre of the Czech form of the absurd theatre ( V. Havel: The Garden Party, Memorandum, Alfred Jarry: King Ubu, Franz Kafka: Process ).

Five days later, against the Montreal Expos at Jarry Park, Pappas was again part of baseball history, albeit on the other side: he was responsible for Ron Hunt's 50th hit by pitch of the season, which broke the single-season record of 49 set by Hughie Jennings in 1896.

The term was coined and the concept created by French writer Alfred Jarry ( 1873 – 1907 ), who defined ' pataphysics as " the science of imaginary solutions, which symbolically attributes the properties of objects, described by their virtuality, to their lineaments.

A less serious, but ( some might say ) even more extremist anti-razor is ' Pataphysics, the " science of imaginary solutions " invented by Alfred Jarry ( 1873 – 1907 ).

" Jarry considered Hippocrates of Chios and Sophrotatos the Armenian as the fathers of this " science ".

Best known for his play Ubu Roi ( 1896 ), which is often cited as a forerunner to the surrealist theatre of the 1920s and 1930s, Jarry wrote in a variety of genres and styles.

Jarry had meantime discovered the pleasures of alcohol, which he called " my sacred herb " or, when referring to absinthe, the " green goddess ".

This is a work that bridges the gap between serious symbolic meaning and the type of critical absurdity with which Jarry would soon become associated.

Jarry moved into a flat which the landlord had created through the unusual expedient of subdividing a larger flat by means of a horizontal rather than a vertical partition.

Living in worsening poverty, neglecting his health, and drinking excessively, Jarry went on to write what is often cited as the first cyborg sex novel, Le Surmâle ( The Supermale ), which is partly a satire on the Symbolist ideal of self-transcendence.

It was copied by the famous calligraphist Nicolas Jarry in a magnificent manuscript, on each page of which was a flower painted by Nicolas Robert, and was presented to Julie on her fête day in 1641.

It is the first of three stylised burlesques in which Jarry satirises power, greed, and their evil practices — in particular the propensity of the complacent bourgeois to abuse the authority engendered by success.

It is clear, however, that Jarry considerably revised and expanded the play, endowed it with the marionette concept and gave its protagonist the handle under which he became famous.

Part of the satisfaction arises from the fact that in the burlesque mode which Jarry invents, there is no place for consequence.

)) of the play, a riot, which has since become " a stock element of Jarry biographia ", broke out.

The EDF-GDF tower designed by architect Renzo Moro is the building from which the shots were fired to assassinate president Marc Jarry.

Alfred Jarry, only 23 years old, wrote his highly influential play Ubu Roi, which is often cited as a forerunner to the Theatre of the Absurd.

From 1915 to 1930, Villeray saw a boom which brought with it the need for schools, churches, a public bath and a fire station, built at the corner of Jarry and St-Hubert in 1912.

Jarry once wrote, expressing some of the bizarre logic of ' pataphysics, " If you let a coin fall and it falls, the next time it is just by an infinite coincidence that it will fall again the same way ; hundreds of other coins on other hands will follow this pattern in an infinitely unimaginable fashion ".

Jarry lived in his ' pataphysical world until his death in Paris on 1 November 1907 of tuberculosis, aggravated by drug and alcohol use.

* Ubu Roi, a comic-absurdist play by Alfred Jarry, contains numerous references to coprophagy / scatology.

Ubu Roi ( Ubu the King ) is a play by Alfred Jarry, premiered in 1896.

" It was as a student in 1888, at the age of fifteen, that Jarry perused Les Polonais, a brief teacher-ridiculing farce by the brothers Henri ( of whom he was a good friend ) and Charles Morin.

Ubu Roi follows and explores his political, martial and felonious exploits, offering parodic adaptations of situations and plot-lines from Shakespearean drama, including Macbeth, Hamlet and Richard III: like Macbeth, Ubu — on the urging of his wife — murders the king who helped him and usurps his throne, and is in turn defeated and killed by his son ; Jarry also adapts the ghost of the dead king and Fortinbras's revolt from Hamlet, Buckingham's refusal of reward for assisting a usurpation from Richard III and The Winter's Tale's bear.

Jarry and classmate Henri Morin wrote a play they called Les Polonais and performed it with marionettes in the home of one of their friends.

By the time Jarry wanted Ubu Roi published and staged, the Morins had lost their interest in schoolboy japes, and Henri gave Jarry permission to do whatever he wanted with them.

At 17 Jarry passed his baccalauréat and moved to Paris to prepare for admission to the École Normale Supérieure.

Jarry returned to Paris and applied himself to drinking, writing, and the company of friends who appreciated his witty, sweet-tempered, and unpredictable conversation.

The play brought fame to the 23-year-old Jarry, and he immersed himself in the fiction he had created.

From then on, Jarry would always speak in this style.

Meeting the young writer Jacques Vaché, Breton felt that Vaché was the spiritual son of writer and pataphysics founder Alfred Jarry.

Later Breton wrote, " In literature, I was successively taken with Rimbaud, with Jarry, with Apollinaire, with Nouveau, with Lautréamont, but it is Jacques Vaché to whom I owe the most.

During World War I he worked in a neurological ward in Nantes, where he met the devotee of Alfred Jarry, Jacques Vaché, whose anti-social attitude and disdain for established artistic tradition influenced Breton considerably.
