"Welcome to Cabaret Voltaire, birthplace of Dada…'This is how the world and society represented itself in 1913: Life is completely confined and shackled. A kind of economic fatalism prevails; each individual, whether he resists it or not, is assigned a specific role and with it his interests and his character. ...Is there a power somewhere, strong and foremost lively enough, to lift this condition?“ -- Hugo Ball, Founder, Cabaret Voltaire (CV) & Dada Art Movement, “Flight Out of Time: A Dada Diary“, 1927". "1914...The first World War broke out...as observed by Hugo Ball, neutral Switzerland is a 'bird cage, surrounded by roaring lions'...[Dadaists] hoped to heal mankind from the madness prevailing at the time and to instill a new order – a new sense of balance between heaven and hell...[they] protested against a society driven by economical fatalism and irrationality. Their protest was a measure to oppose the Great War to halt the delusion of madness" -- CV > Dada > History
