Story

What is absurdism?

Somebody blowing bubbles? Dipping your foot in a bucket? Smashing your face in a cake while somebody plays a violin? Yes, it's that, and it's a lot more.

Join self-defined nerds Luis Fernandez and Sean Parson from absurdist performance troupe, Enchilada Dada, for a workshop on dadaism and its roots.

This workshop will include: 

  • why dadaism exists and where it came from
  • how the absurd can be an antidote during hard times
  • what a dada-inspired performance can look like

Everyone is welcome!
