Tristan Tzara Was My Best Friend In Junior High

by Savannah Reich

Based on the structure of a Passover seder, but led by Dadaist poet Tristan Tzara. Instead of commemorating the Jews fleeing Egypt, this dinner party / ritual commemorates the time that all of Tristan's friends suddenly didn't want to do Dada anymore, and they all invented surrealism without inviting him. An intimate immersive piece about the nature of community: do we want in or out? Is both an option?

    If ritual is performance and performance is theatre then this dinner ritual is pure theatre. Sidebar: I love an avant-garde reference. Dadaism aside, this play is the perfect way to ask what it really means to be in a community. What does it really mean to be friends? A fun and beautiful piece that is ideal for audience immersion and interaction.
