It features Ubu, a ridiculous and greedy character, who rises to power through absurd schemes, illustrating the corruption and folly often found in leadership. The play uses exaggerated characters, surreal humor, and parody to challenge social norms and question the legitimacy of authority figures. It’s also a significant work in developing avant-garde and absurdist theatre, highlighting how satire can be used to provoke thought about power dynamics and societal values.
