Dada: A Theatre Manifest for Modern PeopleKaleidoskop- theatre from Danmark is a real laboratory of experimental theatre, in which means that almost everything is possible. The stage of Kaleidoskop offers posibilities for many open-minded theatreworkers to search new ways of expression and making art. Kaleidoskop´s latest play "Dada", isn´t a representative of the traditional theatre either. It is not actually even a theater performance. Writer and director Martin Tulinius, one of the Kaleidoskop´s founders, likes to call it more of a proclamation, a manifest. Dada consists of 19 different scenes which are like stops on a journey made by Gariban, one of the main characters. Kaleidoskop has played Dada 19 times in Danmark. Each one of the performances starts and ends in a different scene. At a first day the actors started from the first scene and ended in a nineteenth scene. At a second performance, they started from the second scene and ended in a first and so on. This way the performance goes forward and constitutes 19 different kinds of entities. Therefore each performance is bit different for the each audience. " Usually there is a linear story with a certain beginning and a certain end. In Dada, we do exactly the opposite. We can be in the past, in the present and in the future at the same time", tells Martin Tulinius. Besides all this, Dada also offers to it´s audience a great deal of music, light as well as a various group of actors, assistants, children and even aninmals. The performance is however strictly controlled. One of the main themes of Dada is September eleventh; the Arab countries versus the Western world. However, Dada does not want to moralise. It claims that people have never been so rootless as they are today. It is about extreme sexuality, about genetic engineering, about media, vanity and transition. Dada is simply trying to understand the world as it has become after 9.11.2001. And it does it with an individual, spectacular style.
