VIEW PDF: DADAISM AS POLITICAL INSTALLATION AND LANGUAGE FOR REVOLUTIONARY IMAGINATION: THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING TZARA AND LENIN
The cultural fervor that ensued over the Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich 100 years ago seems quintessentially contemporary. Having entered the stage of WWI Europe with a bang, Dada and the Dadaists brought along creative interventions seen today in continuing adaptation and cultural appropriation. Using the porous dramaturgy of Tom Stoppard’s Travesties and the rich politico-cultural commentaries embedded in Andrei Codrescu’s The Posthuman Dada Guide: Tzara and Lenin Play Chess, I rely on the interaction between Dadaism and Bolshevism as an instrument of cultural analysis, with Tzara’s relational engagement tapping into our fascination with a world out of kilter.
Keywords: Communism, Dadaism, Trumpism, approximate man, manifesto, earnest.
