“Vladimir Lenin believed that "youth is a barometer of the revolution". […] Each revolt echoes the Nietzschean conflict between the Apollonian and the Dionysian. It was also the case when Alfred Jarry was writing and staging his Ubu Rex. He challenged the existing aesthetic and moral order. He showed that the past may be ridiculed without resorting to force and gory coups. His heirs, the naughty children of Alfred Jarry, representatives of cocky artistic movements, the Expressionists, Cubists, Dadaists and Surrealists proved that, even at the times crucial for the historical fate of whole nations, the tradition and the current situation could be derided and poked fun at with impunity.” – Excerpt from The Naughty Children of Alfred Jarry by Konrad Schiller
