cabaretvoltaire by digitalsakura
remake of our 2020 track 01_cabaretvoltaire (https://digitalsakura.bandcamp.com/track/01-cabaretvoltaire) from the album 50_cabaretvoltaire (https://digitalsakura.bandcamp.com/album/50-cabaretvoltaire).
on july 28, 1916, dadaism was born. hugo ball, a german actor, read his dada manifesto in the cabaret voltaire, allegedly saying he did not want it to become an artistic movement (his followers agreed, supposedly crying “dada is anti-dada” on occasion). it’s said that the name dada was chosen after one of the founders plunged a knife into a dictionary and picked the word that the point happened to strike.
it was an art form unlike any other as the goal was not to create works of art, but to oppose modern society, its materialism and the rampant nationalism which was so intent upon destroying itself. it brought together cubism, futurism and expressionism; and spanned everything from sculpting, photography, performance art and painting. seemingly nothing was out of bounds.
all this time, cabaret voltaire was the maelstrom of this artistic madness. but dadaism spread, with the help of a magazine and the opening of galerie dada in zurich, which took some of the limelight from where it all began.
