Tristan Tzara, Romanian poet and essayist, was one of the instigators of Dada.
Although Stoppard sees his plays as "more unlike, than like, each other - they vary from farce to the sub-Shavian", "Stoppardian" has become a trademark, not least for rapid-fire wit and bathetic juxtaposition, whether moral philosophy with gymnastics, as in Jumpers (1972), or the collision of Lenin, Joyce and Tristan Tzara with Wildean pastiche in Travesties (1974).
When I was invited to do something at the Cabaret Voltaire, I focused on the relationship between Dada and Lenin and became 100 percent convinced that Lenin was a founding member of Dada--something that is indirectly confirmed by Hugo Ball, Tristan Tzara and other testimonies.
