Performance Art pages 75-94

My reading began with chapter four. This chapter discusses surrealism. It involves the first paris performance. This performance began an outrage of the Parisian public. The audience of the twenties was not entirely unfamiliar with such provocative events. My readings discussed the costumes that were used during the presentations. The Salle Berlioz performance had been an attempt to give a new direction to Dada activities. There was a trial of Maurice Barrés. Following the trial, relations were strained between Picabia, Tzara and Breton. My reading talks about a show that was Relâche. It was a performance of the mud-twenties. It consisted of ballet costumes that men wire throughout the performance.
