terraNOVA Collective, viagra One-Eighth and IRT Theater are proud to announce the remount of UBU after a highly successful run in the 2012 soloNOVA Arts Festival. Inspired by Ubu Roi, UBU is the King of the Great Expanding Universe who will allow a privileged few into his mansion to watch him eat steak. Along the way, he may play music, read you poetry and tell of his lost loves and purchased politicians – it all depends on the mood of the King. Join this kinetic romp through the absurdist world of the most powerful CEO in the universe.
