They were anti-everything. It was a movement with confron-
tation in its core vocabulary. Anti-war, anti-establishment,
anti-art. Yet here we are 100 years later discussing, cel-
ebrating, and questioning the artworks of Dadaism. This
month The Icelandic Dance Company presents Da Da Dans,
an exploration of the views and methods of Dadaists and a
contemplation of their relevance to today’s world. The music
is composed by Icelandic electronic-pop man Hermigervill
and the choreographers, Inga Huld and Rósa Ómarsdóttir,
are up and comers in the Icelandic dance scene. By aiming to
destroy, Dadaists created something with lasting power. Let’s
see what the new crew can do. PY
