Summary
Tristan Tzara, co-founder of the Dada movement. This volume provides the first comprehensive account of Tzara’s works for the stage. It addresses his distinct approach to theatre across his career and examines to what extent his dadaist and, latterly, surrealist principles are embodied in his stagecraft, both during and after his relations with these groups. This book uncovers the implications for subsequent theatre and performance practices in light of Tzara’s innovations and shows how he anticipates certain tendencies that would become markers of invention in theatre history. Addressing the linguistic, dramaturgical, and philosophical aspects of his theatre, this study positions Tristan Tzara as a pioneering playwright.
