Abstract

On the Theatricality of Dadaist Manifestos. This paper tries to emphasize the theatricality of the Dadaist manifestos written by Tristan Tzara, linking it to the discoveries of poets such as Jules Laforgue or the futurists. A focus is put on the figure of the poet as clown, as buffoon, taking into account Jean Starobinski’s work Portrait de l’artiste en saltimbanque. The freedom of expression, the irony, the double language and the multiple linguistic games are all of them clear signs of the aforementioned theatricality.
