A rare piece whose author, Richard Huelsenbeck, was one of the major players in the Dada movement in both Zurich and Berlin. A doctor by profession and a writer, he did not share the radicalism promoted by Tristan Tzara, which is why they had a strained relationship. In 1917 he left the Swiss epicentre of Dadaism and reinvented it in Berlin, Germany. In his late testimonies he claims that it was he and Hugo Ball who gave the movement its name and not Tristan Tzara, as is commonly known. In 1936, due to persecution by the National Socialists, he emigrated to New York, USA, where he worked as a psychiatrist. Not accepting Tzara's decision in 1922 when he officially declared the movement's cessation, he continued his literary activity in the same vein, believing until his death that the Dada movement existed. This is also the reason he wrote the Dada Manifesto 1949, a provocative statement intended to establish his ideas and which became part of the mandatory bibliography of the Dada movement.
