Reihe "Lauschen & Staunen": DADA haben wir den Wortsalat! Kunst, die protestiert - Eine Reise durch Dada, Wortspiel, Konkrete Poesie und mehr
In the organizer's words:
With their sound poems, the Dadaists were by no means producing meaningless poetry for jokers; they intended the deliberate destruction of language as part of the propaganda of the First World War, which in their view was hollow, patriotic chatter. When, after the collapse of fascism in the German-speaking world, the concrete poets made language itself the subject of their poetry, it was for a similar reason. They wanted to develop a language that could not be misused politically. Interestingly, almost 25 years later in Brazil, the new pop musicians of Tropicalismo used Concrete Poetry there when they were looking for a song lyric that could not be exploited by capitalism.
Lenhart reveals surprising connections between Dada and pop music and how his texts form interdisciplinary links: They were set to music as sound collages, visually designed or performed as sound poems. Experiment as protest, avant-garde and humor, wordplay and music - Lenhart shows that anything is possible on this evening.
