"What could be healthier than claiming to be part of a Dada movement at a time when the meaning of things is being turned upside down?" asked Bele Marx & Gilles Mussard and with NEPOMUK DADA JUKEBOX they let music, performance and poetry meet in public space. Under the slogan "You are dada!", they invite the public as well as other artists to join them in making the appropriate costumes and objects during the day, which will be used in the evening in the Dada street opera with flashmob dance lessons, beatbox and violin music.
Beatboxers and the dance teacher Angelo call on the audience to actively participate and generate creative space for utopias, desires for change and ever new, unimagined constellations in a process of joint artistic research. "Artists are familiar with such processes and rely on their intuition, spontaneity and openness to coincidences―which may not be coincidences at all, but fixed variables of this journey into new territories. NEPOMUK DADA JUKEBOX calls on the audience to become part of this journey," the artists say.
"Many people realize that they no longer recognize themselves in different schools of thought. So what is left for us but a madness or a distancing from reality to reinvent a dreamlike world that soothes through the absurd on aesthetics and poetry? May this sweet madness be our therapy and our medicine against nonsense." (Gilles Mussard)
