Cabaret Voltaire is a circus work inspired by the Dadaist movement. It is set in the room ¨La Lechería¨ in Zurich, where on February 5, 1916 the Voltaire Artists Tavern was founded, a small place of barely ten square meters where some think the Dada Movement was founded. Night after night, with a high dose of humor and some moments of total improvisation, it is expected to break some barriers of logic and make the most of the enjoyment of face-to-face art. This cabaret brings together a large cast of multidisciplinary artists and performers, who will make each performance unique and unrepeatable.

​ Written and directed by Iván Corral. ​

Cabaret Voltaire — Archive of a Dadaist Proposal: Cabaret, Circus, and Physical Theatre Cabaret Voltaire was a stage production by 3030 Producciones that explored, through gesture and estrangement, the poetics of Dadaism applied to cabaret and circus. Conceived as an intimate and provocative experience, the piece combined acrobatic acts, clowning, and physical theatre with performative resources that subverted narrative logic and celebrated chance, irony, and the aesthetic dislocation characteristic of the Dadaist movement.

Today, the work is part of the 3030 Producciones archive. Its value lies in having bridged the gap between the historical avant-garde and contemporary experimentation: the production reused variety show formats to challenge expectations, employed found objects, fragmented sound compositions, and stage devices that privileged the unexpected. The result was a performative experience where the audience was invited to laugh, feel uncomfortable, and consider the performance as a critical intervention. Although Cabaret Voltaire is no longer touring, its legacy remains present in our work: laboratory processes, explorations of stage materiality, and educational projects that revisit techniques of clowning, acrobatics, and visual dramaturgy with an experimental approach. 3030 Producciones maintains this record for programmers, researchers, and lovers of movement arts interested in the influence of Dadaism on the contemporary stage.
