Ce qui roule - That which rolls - Early forms of Rollin'Rock

Alfred Jarry was a quintessential modern hero anticipating the 20th century though he destroyed himself already in 1907 at age 32 through the insane consumption of absinth, alcohol and self-induced, self-deceiving madness. As a high school student together with his class mates, Jarry created nearly by chance UBU ROI, KING UBU a grotesque, pathetic dictator that foreshadowed the megalomania, failure and destruction of those disastrous men that terrorized Nazi-Europe, Fascist Spain and Stalinist Russia. Gender troubled and unsure about anything, Jarry embraced the future in a futurist manner, fantasizing about new machines - fast trains, airplanes, cars, factories, etc. - and daring technologies of the self that put into questions the limits of mankind. He wrote about Permanent Motion Food, a performance enhancing drug that lets supermale cyclists compete with high speed bullet trains going 250 km an hour and allow men make love 82 times in 24 hours. He also drafts disciplinary apparatuses that beat children and women automatically and time machines that transgress reality and age.

Most interesting Alfred Jarry lived a life that was characterized by his permanent use of a just newly invented bicycle, the carrying of a gun he handled carelessly and a total disregard over his social and financial resources and his own health to the point of premature death. Always dressed in just a bicycle costume (even onStephane Mallarme's funeral) Jarry ran up huge debts, never paid and was rude and insulting to people. He believed in his own literary alter ego king UBU, trying to personify and imitate the miserable and mean projection of king UBU, adapting his mannerist language by ignoring proper rules of grammar and syntax. Jarry created and lived his own fragmentation that was also reflected in his own writing. With him, we get a taste for what dominates today's news on international politics: neo-colonial wars, genocides, global financial crisis, astronomical debts and frauds, social and political injustice, powerful 'supermale' medico-pharmaceutical industries (Viagra, Uppers, Downers, implants, organ transplants, prosthesis made for Olympic championships etc.) and stunning technological and industrial achievements that threaten our environment, heat the globe to the point of melt down, and consume our social and material world.

The film project Ce qui roule - That which rolls - Early forms of Rollin'Rock tries to take up some of the schizo-poetic strains Alfred Jarry laid out and lived through. It is an accumulation of anecdotes, historic events, poetic projections and invented prolongations sketching the silhouettes of the historical as well as the imagined poet. But this film is not trying to illustrate the historical protagonist but to take all sources and literary creations as a rollin' rock to kick around with. In this film, I don't try to differ between Jarry's writing and his own life; I also don't limit myself to what might be historically reasonable or feasible but expand the scope of cinematic production to the point of anachronistic paradigms that obey only the structure of the film itself. This will force and allow us to move across several media and film textures - super 8, 16 mm, HDVD - skip chronologies and play with the intransigence of various spaces. Indoor and outdoors will be represented according to the logic of the film and treated like a canvas. Partially bathed in black and white, incompatible scenes will be glued together to accessible contrasts and poetic continuities. Having the focus on the bicycle, actual high-resolution street live will mix with ruthless bike acrobatics (driving against the traffic while filming without holding the handle bar), pistol shootings of monuments and romantic Paris travelings. The film is staring various professional actors, a striptease artist, a monkey (Bosse De Nage), retro-projections and the actual film process as well as a historical 100 years old bicycle. Even my face might appear with a semi-scared look framed against La Bastille ‘s roundabout traffic which I want to use as a bicycle-playground.

The film should allow for a kaleidoscopic concatenation of scenes and filmic passages that should not only make of Alfred Jarry an ambivalent anti-hero but also transform the bicycle from a one-dimensional vehicle into a superb driving machine that re-narrates the city and country side, expands love making, redefines and seduces people and misspells technology. The bicycle should come across as a iron companion, a drawing pencil, a chaotic mixer of literature, love, life and film. Last but not least, we try a filmic experiment that wants to be 'man, literature and bicycle with a camera' traveling across Paris.

DIALOGUES / SPEACH:

l'amour est un act sans importance, puisque on peut le faire indefiniment

"Ma-da-me! vous avez un bien mauvais caractere! Vous etes une quantitee negligeable d'atomes crochus. Mais nous vous accordons une qualite: vous ne raccrochez pas!"

"Quelle importance l'argent peut-il avoir, Ma-da-me? Nous vivrons du produit de notre chasse et de notre peche, nos livres nous fourniront le reste. ... Et d'ailleurs, si nous faisons des dettes, cela ne regarde que nous.

Ce n'etait plus une personne qui parlait, mais une machine habitee par quelque demon. Sa voix saccadee, metallique ou nasillarde, ses gestes courts de pantin articule, son masque fixe, sa loquacite torrentielle et incoherente, ses trouvailles grotestques ou brillantes, sesmots qui s'acrochaient a d'autres par tous leurs angels, ce synchronisme, dirions-nous aujourdh'hui, de cinema et de phonographe, tout cela etonnait, amusait, agacait aussi et finissait par inquieter.

NOUS a la place de je

celui qui souffler (le vent); celui qui se traine (le train); celle qui hors-nature (Rachilde); celui qui Mercure (Vallette - Mercure editeur), ce qui roule (la bicyclette)

the mouth

"the mouth alone, like a leaf from a tree, is diffrent on every face, and is the only feature one can draw without knoing how to draw, since one will invariably intimate wiht lines curved at random. lips and movements of lips that actually exist. and even when their voices are similar, two speakers have differnt mouths. beaucase there are moments when they do not talk an dthe mouths remain themselves. it was mouths militarily tamed for the convention of language that the little deaf-mute gilrs at auray would watch closely before answering them wiht the geometry of a uniform gmnasitics.

Il ne pouvait voir un "merdecin" parce que, pretendait-il, ces bouffres-la l'avaient drogue pour l'examiner de pres: "Vous comprenez, Ma-da-me, ils ont tout interet a dissequer un personnage de notre trempe.

c'est bien pus vraisemblablement Apollinaire qui, aant confisquele revolver de Jarry, le transmit a Picaso. Ce revolver avait , on le sait, une belle carriere litteraire. "jarry avait tire a blanc sur le malheureux poete belge Chrisitan Beck, lors d'n banquet du Mercure de France, en 1897 , incident qui a inspire a Gide la scene du banquet dans Les aux-Monnaeurs".

DRINKING:

Aj vivait mal, se nourrisant a paris de cotelette de mouton crues et de cornichions. buvait suvant avant de se coucher , un grand verre dans lequel il avait verse, par moitie, du vinaigre et de l'absinthe, melange bizarre qu'il liai en y ajoutant une goutte d'encre.

about water (l'eau = liquide impur dont une seule goutte suffit a troubler l'absinthe) : - to Rachilde who drinks only water: "Vous vous empoisonnez, Ma-da-me, (m'expliquait-il le plus serieusement du monde.) L'eau content, en suspension, tous les microbes de la terre et du ciel, et vos sucreries, qui forment votre principale alimentation, sont des alcools a l'etat rudimentaire qui saoulent bien autrement que des spiritueux convenablement expurges par la fermentation de tous leurs principes nocifs." (R. 139)

il bu aussi d'ether: dialogue "rachilde - AJ"

R: Ca peut donc s'avaler, pere Ubu, ce poison? AJ: Certainment et ca vaut bien vos tasses de the, Ma-da-me! Au mois on n'est pas oblige d'avaler, en outre, les converrsations de vos belles amies, puisque vous avez pris la deplorable habitude de recevoir des femmes, rue de Conde. ca endort meiux, ca vous laisse les mouvements libres, ca sent bon, puisque vous le dites, et ca detache!" R140

"Les patrons de ce bistrot n'osent pas me reclamer les sommes considerable que je leur dois depuis deux ans, parce qu'ils savent tres bien qu'ils perdraient ma clientele s'ils en exigeaient le paiement! Mais si je restais deux jours sans venir prendre mon absinthe, ils n'hesiteraient plus et me mettraient le couteau sur la gorge. Je bois pour ne pas payer ce que je dois!" (Demolder, car c'etait lui qui sans rien dire payait chaque semaine tout ce que jarry prenait depuis deux ans chez ce bistrot)

Living:

Meme le phallus de pierre, ouvrage d'un scupteur japonaiss, don de Felicien Rops, qui trône sur la cheminee n'echappe pas a cette contagion de la reduction bien qu'il soit largemet grandeur nature. Mais Jarry avait replique a une dame qui lui demandait imprudemment si c'etait un moulage: "Non, Ma-da-me, c'est une reduction"
