{{main|Cabaret Voltaire (Zürich)}}

The [[Cabaret Voltaire (Zürich)|Cabaret Voltaire]] was founded in [[Zürich]], Switzerland by the couple [[Hugo Ball]] and [[Emmy Hennings]] for artistic and political purposes, and was a place where new tendencies were explored. Located on the upper floor of a theater, whose exhibitions they mocked in their shows, the works interpreted in the cabaret were avant garde and experimental. It is thought that the Dada movement was founded in the ten-meter-square locale.<ref>{{cite web|last=Sooke|first=Alastair|title=Cabaret Voltaire: A night out at history's wildest nightclub|website=BBC Culture|date=20 July 2016|url=https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20160719-cabaret-voltaire-a-night-out-at-historys-wildest-nightclub}}</ref><ref>{{cite news| title=Cabaret Voltaire|newspaper=Suiza Turismo|url=https://www.myswitzerland.com/es/descubrir-suiza/cabaret-voltaire/|language=es|access-date=16 November 2022 |last1=Tourismus |first1=Schweiz }}</ref> Moreover, Surrealists, whose movement descended directly from Dadaism, used to meet in the Cabaret. On its brief existence—barely six months, closing the summer of 1916—the Dadaist Manifesto was read and it held the first Dada actions, performances, and hybrid poetry, plastic art, music and repetitive action presentations. Founders such as [[Richard Huelsenbeck]], [[Marcel Janco]], [[Tristan Tzara]], [[Sophie Taeuber-Arp]] and [[Jean Arp]] participated in provocative and scandalous events that were fundamental and the basis of the foundation for the anarchist movement called Dada.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20160719-cabaret-voltaire-a-night-out-at-historys-wildest-nightclub|title=Cabaret Voltaire: A night out at history's wildest nightclub|access-date=March 4, 2018|last=Sooke|first=Alastair}}</ref>

Dadaism was born with the intention of destroying any system or established norm in the art world.<ref name=":2" /> It is an anti-art movement, anti-literary and anti-poetry, that questioned the existence of art, literature and poetry itself. Not only was it a way of creating, but of living; it created a whole new ideology.<ref name="ref_duplicada_2" /> It was against eternal beauty, the eternity of principles, the laws of logic, the immobility of thought and clearly against anything universal. It promoted change, spontaneity, immediacy, contradiction, randomness and the defense of chaos against the order and imperfection against perfection, ideas similar to those of performance art. They stood for provocation, anti-art protest and scandal, through ways of expression many times satirical and ironic.
