Alfred Jarry (1873–1907) was a French writer, playwright, and avant-garde artist best known for his play "Ubu Roi" (1896), which is considered a precursor to the absurdist and surrealist movements in theater. This play features the character Père Ubu, a grotesque figure who embodies greed and tyrannical behavior, and it is marked by its subversion of traditional theatrical conventions and its use of absurdity.
