“Dada is the heart of words.”
What this quote means
For Tzara, Dada is not a movement but an essence, an energy that animates words. He asserts that poetry and art are born from the encounter between language and life, from the inner vibration of words. It is an invitation to listen to the musicality, the resonance, the emotional power of language beyond rational meaning.
