The Dada Factory
Posted: Thu Jan 31, 2002 7:24 pm
There are some people who explain, because there are others who learn. Abolish them and all that's left is dada.
...There are some people who have said: dada is good because it isn't bad, dada is bad, dada is a religion, dada is a poem, dada is a spirit, dada is sceptical, dada is magic, I know dada.
My dear colleagues: good bad, religion poetry, spirit scepticism, definition definition,
that's why you're all going to die,
and you will die, I promise you.
The great mystery is a secret, but it's known to a few people. They will never say what dada is. To amuse you once again I'll tell you something like:
dada is the dictatorship of the spirit, or
dada is the dictatorship of language,
or else
dada is the death of the spirit,
which will please many of my friends. Friends.
--Tristan Tzara (Part IX of DADA MANIFESTO ON FEEBLE LOVE AND BITTER LOVE)
**************************************************
If you came here to find out what it's all about, get lost. If, however, you came here to shake loose the elephants in the cuffs of your pants I encourage you to do so, only make sure that the truculent blues of their eyes stay well in place, if not more so. This is DADA. All others, take your business to the void where it belongs.
