In 1917, two revolutions were raging in Switzerland.

While Tristan Tzara , founder of the DADA movement, was drafting his avant-garde manifesto, the political agitator Vladimir Lenin was secretly plotting the overthrow of the Tsar in Russia.

During a feverish night, between irony, despair and grandiose visions of the future, an intimate and unexpected dialogue is born, held in the worst tavern in Zurich in 1917, the CABARET VOLTAIRE.
The scene thus becomes a mirror of the present: what does it mean to perform a truly revolutionary act today? And what power can poetry still have in the face of the bloody wheels of history?

 

Today the REVOLUTION is everything.

Today the REVOLUTION is nothing.

Be wary of the REVOLUTION.
