Dada at the Movies was commissioned from Guy Livingston by the Holland Festival.

   

"DADA IS DEAD!”
Satie declared Dadaism dead in 1923, but if anything, it’s back and stronger than ever. With Dadaist shows at the Centre Pompidou, the National Gallery in Washington, and the MOMA in New York; Dada is definitely alive and well. Dada was particularly strong in FILM, TYPOGRAPHY, THEATER. The music is equally fascinating, and makes use of collage, surprise elements, and like all the Dada arts, was fueled by plenty of Absinthe, the Dadaist drink of choice.

Retour à La Raison was the inspiration for Guy's new show. The performance will feature avant-garde cinema and music from 1920's Paris, many films synchronized for the first time with their original music by George Antheil. Other music, by Eric Satie and Darius Milhaud, will complement these premieres.
