2 Dada started in 1916 (during WW I) in Switzerland, where many were seeking refuge the war. The name ‘Dada’ means ‘rocking horse’ and was found by dropping a pin into a dictionary. (Typical of Dada, to find the name of an art movement by the laws of chance.) The Café Voltaire, started by Hugo Ball, became a venue for all sorts of performances with dance, spoken word, costumes. Ball is seen here wearing a weird costume, performing a sound poem which has no meaning. This kind of artmaking was totally new.
