Sold
On the program (which is headlined in orange with the announcement “Tous les Dadas se feront tondre les cheveux sur la scène!”) are featured “le sexe de dada,” “le célèbre illusioniste” by Philippe Soupault, “le nombril interlope, musique de Georges Ribemont-Dessaignes, interprété par Mlle. Marguerite Buffet,” “festival manifeste presbyte, par Francis Picabia, interprété par André Breton et Henri Houry,” “le rastaquouère” by Breton, “la deuxième aventure de monsieur Aa l’antipyrine” by Tristan Tzara, “vous m’oublierez, sketch par André Breton et Philippe Soupault,” “la nourrice américaine, par Francis Picabia, musique sodomiste interprétée par Marguerite Buffet,” “manifeste baccarat” by Ribemont-Dessaignes, enacted by Soupault, Breton and Berthe Tessier, “système DD” by Louis Aragon, “je suis des javanais” by Picabia, “poids public” by Paul Éluard, and “vaseline symphonique,” by Tzara.
Among other things at the event, foxtrots were played on the famous organ, and Ribemont-Dessaignes performed his “danse frontière,” wrapped in a large cardboard funnel oscillating at its tip. The audience, pettishly put out by the Dadaists failing to have their heads shaved as promised, pelted the participants with tomatoes, rotten eggs, bread rolls, and, from one corner, veal cutlets.
An important piece of Dada ephemera.
