- The press release that accompanied the opening of the nightclub reads:
Cabaret Voltaire. Under this name a group of young artists and writers has been formed whose aim is to create a centre for artistic entertainment. The idea of the cabaret will be that guest artists will come and give musical performances and readings at the daily meetings. The young artists of Zurich, whatever their orientation, are invited to come along with suggestions and contributions of all kinds. -Zurich, February 2, 1916.
This is a clip from a movie about dada that I digitised from videotape.
I think that the original documentary film, from which this is an excerpt, is called 'Dada', directed by Greta Deses and originally produced in 1969. The link below should enable you to access a copy of the film from a source near you. I am fairly sure this is the film that I used.

In response to queries about the video. Since first posting the video I spent a considerable amount of time researching dada for a novel and am convinced that the video is, as always suspected, an excellent reconstruction. Ball's 'Flight out of time' makes no mention of any filming.

honestly same, "jolifanto bambla o falli bambla" pops out of nowhere
we need more dada!
Here here!
my mind is blown. absurdity and non restriction at it's finest. I can't believe I've gone this far in life without seeing this
Me and the bois after quarantine
the world literally made shitposts just like dada but missed the perfect chance to actually use it to awake the people
Thanks for this. Many years ago I saw the DADA exhibit in NYC at MOMA. Great show. I could hear the poetry coming out of the speakers and see items that I previously only seen in art books.

thanks!
It’s not there anymore, but the whole film is available on RUclips now.
My classes always loved it. One of my students once asked if the musical score was available somewhere. My guess is that it was largely improvised.
Oh sure the Swiss are famous for their spontaneity.
I'd be surprised if it wasn't - and on the spot at that.
This is so amazing in so many levels, thank you for sharing it.
What are the levels? Could you discuss this level by level? I indubitably illuminated my eagerness of understanding to the essence of each level in which you have referenced to.
@@jneil2496 bro shut up
I learned about it when I was 16...This is amazing!! 💕
Very cool to see it so close to how it was originally performed.
Hugo Ball has been one of my absolute favourite artists together with Marcel Duchamp, very powerful art.
Very powerful, I couldn't have said it better myself.
check out hannah höch if you havent already
It's good to know that Ball is finally getting recognition for inventing Dada.
He dressed in tubular costume as protest that "men have become confused with machines".
Tzaras nihilistic interpretation was out of line with the other 4 Dadaists of 1916.
Dada is ultimately highly moralistic and inspirational to the creative individual threatened on all sides by death, destruction and banality.
We are resurrecting Dada on Hugo Balls original principles. Search London Dada for the truth about Dada.
Dada is bullshit
@@dustin2372 your hate is insignificant, DADA is INFINITE
This is, of course, not a recording from the original performance in 1917 (!), but a restaging for Greta Deses' 1969 documentary "Dada" - it does feature Jean Arp on piano though!
Is it Arp for real? Haha this makes the whole scene far more interesting! (And probably well documented) thanks!
1916. Cabaret folded summer 1916.
How do you know that was Arp? Do you know any more about Greta Deses' documentary?
We had the honor to play at cabaret voltaire, really is a special place.
This is great!...I'm a performance artist doing research on DADA for a grant and found this. THANKS! My project is an offshoot from DADA being a traveling cabaret of ridiculousness provoking action in the audience on current issues.
This final sentence is so brilliant when the speaker takes Dada to the same level as the critical audience... "je suis comme vous tous"
Thank goodness people are finally recognizing Hugo Ball as the father of Dada.
TristanTzara popularized Dada - made it into a movement - but at the expense of his own personal philosophy of nonsensical nihilism being accepted historically as being what Dada was all about. Whereas Ball is quoted " Art,for us, is not an end in itself, but an opportunity for true perception and criticism of the times we live in". Also " Dada is profoundly moral". Search LONDON DADA sometime.
Art Axis
+Art Axis I don't think you can accuse Tzara of abandoning the principles of Dada for later becoming politically active. To be Jewish at the time of the second world war, what was a man to do but to become politically active? He was still a founding member of Dada alongside Ball et al. People are too quick to kick Tzara down -- his manifestos for Dada are classic.
I Can't see politics being mentioned in the comment but never mind. However Tzara later claimed he "invented Dada", which is clearly false. No one invented Dada, it was a spontaneous or chance event that happened between 5 artists / writers / poets in 1916. Whilst its certainly true that without Tzaras ego-driven energy and input, the initial Zurich expression would have petered out and become a mere footnote in art history, it was at the price of the promotion and subsequent (mis) understanding of Dada as being purely nonsensical and nihilistic. That is to misunderstand the whole point of what Dada was based upon, which was a burning search for a new morality, a new humanity that doesn't do war. Nilhilism and self destruction purely for its own sake is not Dada, it is nasty wanton vandalism and little more.
His manifestoes are classic, but borrowed to heavily from Walter Serner, who was by far the more brilliant.
Not to forget Huelsenbeck and co. in Berlin, where Dada did become quite inflammatory.
Beautiful and majestic , scary and thought provoking I love it .
Brilliant and innovative, even nowadays.
Thank you for sharing this great video!
Thanks to Cabaret Voltaire for these experiences... Thanks to my friend Gianni D.F. ( the best Italiania collectionist of C.V.) that took me the opportunity to know them better...
Amazing! thanks for sharing it!
Exellent rework, thank you for the upload
i love it, great video...
i will show this video the next time i am in the cabaret voltaire :D
I've never heard it proposed that Hugo Ball didn't invent Dada; sure Tzara was the most vocal and aggressive of the dadaists but he's never been sold as the Dada creator. After Ball left Zürich Tzara took lead of the movement and began to organize and proselytize Dada into a global movement. Ball took issue with this because Dada was undefinable. Also if you think that nihilism doesn't advocate creativity in the face of death, etc then you have serious misunderstandings about what nihilism is.
Thanks so much for saying this. Dada was founded by Hugo Ball.
I've just read Soupault's account of the times, and even he, having been there, "remembers" that Tzara founded Dada and later came in contact with Ball!! Which goes in the files under Don't Believe Everything You Read. Sheesh!
I've never even been able to find photos of the Cabaret's exterior from 1916, or of anything other than the stage.
This is the film that is always shown about the Cabaret Voltaire. I believe it actually was recorded at the cabaret and is the only known performance that was recorded. I'll see if I can find out more info about this clip and post about it latter.
It looks like the Cabaret Voltaire
4:37 this is so inspiring. Omg just beautiful
valeu professora de artes por me passar esse conteúdo viciante
I find it so interesting that they stay on beat the whole time
de loko esto es increible no puedo parar de verlo
Great post!
Look how all of modern art has fizzled out, all on it’s own. Not to speculators and collectors, and those who can’t do, of course.
im watching this at 12 midnight and man its creeping me out lmaooo
The voice in the end is hot tho
absolutely. reminds me of those 70/80s luxury television ad campaings.
It could end with "Opium, by Yves Saint Laurent" and would be fitting :'D
wow this was great
thank you
Here's to a return to dadaism! Who's with me?
Excelente trabajo, gracias por compartir.
Dios YaHWeH te bendiga

Por favor, alguien que traduzca o subtitule la introducción y el cierre... Desde ya gracias!!
Mom pick me up I'm scared
wow... just, wow
Danke. Dada.
Sehr gut!
I AGREE... I THINK.... IF YOU CAN LOCATE MORE FILMS OF DADA THEN GET EM UP...
Rotation is the violin.
Increíble
Me after four glasses of wine: 2:52
Thank you for this! May I use it for the a documentary?
that's simple... in 1916 there was no sound in film. "Talkies" didn't come about until 1929. so it has to be a re-creation. also, if you consider that they were very poor at the time, imagine how expensive that would be.
Like how do they do these shits without laughing out loud??
It's not that simple. 'The first known public exhibition of projected sound films took place in Paris in 1900, but decades would pass before sound motion pictures were made commercially practical. Reliable synchronization was difficult to achieve with the early sound-on-disc systems, and amplification and recording quality were also inadequate. Innovations in sound-on-film led to the first commercial screening of short motion pictures using the technology, which took place in 1923.' (Wikipedia)
*practicable
This is art!!!
Do you know the name of the pianist or the composer from this performance?
Who else is here because of school?
Me haha

Hello, Do you have then an idea from when the film dates?
This film is a 1969 RECREATION of the Cabaret Voltaire experience. See preceding comments.
I Dada
"...but he ( Tzara)'s never been sold as the Dada creator".
Sure, but Tzara did try to claim he invented the word Dada after he moved to Paris and acquired a following. Ball wrote to him in strong terms disagreeing with his turning Dada into a movement.
Re' nihilism. It has its place but is far from being the whole Dada picture as is unfortunately now mostly ingrained into art history. Original Dada ultimately has a highly moral and civilizing direction pointer and motivation.
GOSH
Has your book come out yet on Dada? I would be very intrigued to read it. I am currently doing a project for a seminar on women artists of the Dada movement.

Sad that the great women of Dada are often ignored. Most texts I've read give Hannah Hoch a mention. Emmy Henning (Ball) less so. How could the world have forgotten someone as unusual as Baroness Elsa, who was a living, breathing work of Dada art?
Bom dia Santa Emília
Wha-

It looks like it, but I have never been able to ascertain that. They could have recorded the sound at that time or dubbed it later. I have sought this information sporadically for years.

Кто здесь из подкаста «Искусство для пацанчиков?)»😊
biadcourse, I am interested to know how you have determined the high improbability of this being actual film from the Cabaret Voltaire. Please provide your reasoning because a number of people who have watched it have expressed interest in this issue.

Film with sound didn’t happen until ‘29.

Och, nein way! Dass ist sehr gudt.

K es esto ?
Does somebody know who is playing the piano ?? Is it Jean Arp??
I've read it in a comment but seems too good to be true!!!
kikalcala ive a fckn work to do about it for school.. i dont even know who are the people in the video !!
This was performed in 1916. How did they manage to get sound in this film?
See discussion in comments below.
I would love to advertise a rally for Mr. Donald Trump and then have this entire performance recreated for the crowd. That would be plenty DADA!
