Dada, Surrealism, and Symbolism: Crash Course Theater #37

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Watch. Dime. Develop. Powder. Pantry. Dirt. That's right, it's time for a dip into the random, because we're talking about the Dada theater that grew out of Symbolism, and the Surrealist theater that followed Dada. You'll learn about Maurice Maeterlinck, Paul Fort, Lugne Poe, Andre Breton, and Alfred Jarry and his infamous play, Ubu Roi. Along the way, you'll pick up lots of interesting facts. For instance, Jarry's favorite cocktail was made up of absinthe, vinegar, and ink. We don't want to boss you around, but do not ever drink anything like that

I think this video contains too many themes. When video includes only one theme it is looking much better.
Dada and Surrealism are very important and very enormous subject in the art. Because of that, it is very difficult to describe these three themes in such a short video and do it clearly, simply and comprehensively.

YAY THE 20TH CENTURY JELLICLEISM, PETER PAN, AND CATS, What is JELLICLEISM you Might Call it Forced Purrspective, Making the Characters Smaller (ie) Me in the Jellicle Junkyard, or using a Flashlight and Bell For TinkerBell in Peter Pan, Jellicleism, or you can just get Boring and Call it the other Thing.

I once went on stage and spent five minutes just tearing pages out of a book. One of the best shows I ever did.
Of course, this can't compare to a another guy I know who does a performance involving dramatically slicing cucumbers.

Another fun thing about Dadaism isn't that there was one manifesto, but lots of them. Tons of notable Dadaists each had their own manifesto. Dadaists disagreeing with each other about what Dada meant is kind of the _point_ of Dada.

BTW, through all these videos, I can't repeat it enough: Thank you for providing both a great refresher for all my theater history courses and, by this point, updates on -stuff we never really got to. - Keep on going on!

William S. Burroughs borrowed Tzara's word collage technique, as did David Bowie. -Heroes- and -Life On Mars- were both composed this way. (Or a shoestring, for that matter: blue)

Did you say taxes the Pheasants? I'd ordinarily assume you meant Peasants, but when the whole point is to be nonsense I'm not so sure.
reply

It's worth noting that the name Bougrelas sounds like the French for -bugger it-, which I think succinctly sums up the attitude of the play.

I would love to see the -Breasts of Tiresias. - I wish I could have learned about it in my theater classes but unfortunately I did not.

This is such an amazing series! I study Theatre at university and these episodes have been so helpful in my learning! Thank you!
