So brutal that when an audience member became sick an an ambulance had to be called, people believed it was part of the performance. 'Long Live Pere Ubu, The Spectacle.' is the book that finally documents this extraordinary rock opera, with the history, the methodology, the stage directions, costume requirements, dance routines, the script, the reviews, the animations and the photos in full colour. The performances would undergo many adaptations to facilitate various venues, various band members and - ultimately - the chaos that would inevitable ensue. Never before (?) has a band undertaken the rock opera from its inception, to it's stage production, to its performance and endeavouring every task themselves from stage management, directing, orchestration and even selling the merch from the stage afterwards. Ubu is unique. Always. The Deluxe pack comes with a free 2CD*
    * Available UK, USA and world territories - Europe please contact communex@ubuprojex.com for details as we will be issuing free download codes instead of the physical product.

about

This 2 hour performance was the premiere of the play written by David Thomas. The performances would undergo many adaptations to facilitate various venues, various band members and - ultimately - the chaos that would inevitable ensue. Never before (?) has a band undertaken the rock opera from its inception, to it's stage production, to its performance and endeavouring every task themselves from stage management, directing, orchestration and even selling the merch from the stage afterwards. Ubu is unique. Always.
