This eclectic set of films relates in part to William Kentridge’s work for theater, opera, and gallery installation, while displaying the importance of variations in his artistic practice. Ubu Tells the Truth uses hand-drawn and cutout animation alongside live action and takes its inspiration from Alfred Jarry’s Ubu Roi character from French theater circa 1896. (Kentridge worked with the Handspring Puppet Company on Ubu and the Truth Commission, presented by Cal Performances in 2015.) Shadow Procession and Sibyl reveal the artist’s interest in fables and narratives related to South African and world history. Anti-Mercator connects thematically with the installation project The Refusal of Time and links to Kentridge’s wonderfully creative series of film flip-books—several examples of this form are featured here, showcasing the artist’s interest in language, science, collage, animation, and time.
