# Event Details - **Event Name**: Échec et DADA — Le cabaret du déclin - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 16 Oct, 2026 at 08:00 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: Échec politique, échec amoureux, échec du progrès, de la raison, de l’art, de nos ambitions et de nos grands projets: tout va très bien. Pour cette nouvelle édition du Cabaret Dada, nous célébrons ce qui rate, déraille, s’effondre et refuse obstinément de fonctionner comme prévu. La réussite est suspecte. Le progrès nous fatigue. Les bonnes idées ont suffisamment duré. Dada est né d’un monde en échec. Face à la guerre, au nationalisme et à la faillite de la raison, les dadaïstes n’ont pas cherché à remettre de l’ordre. Iels ont fait mieux: l’absurde, le collage, le détournement, le rire, le bruit et l’insolence. Un siècle plus tard, nous constatons avec satisfaction que l’humanité n’a toujours rien compris. Contrairement à «échec et mat», ici, personne ne gagne. Et franchement, qui voudrait gagner à ce jeu-là? Dada dérègle la partie, renverse l’échiquier et refuse les règles du jeu. Échec et DADA ne cherche pas à réparer le monde. Encore moins à le sauver. Nous n’avons pas cette prétention. Nous en avons d’autres. Puisque nous avons perdu, faisons autre chose. Gaétan Paré, direction artistique With Pleurer Dans’ Douche, animation Philippe Boutin Earthbound Futures Sébastien Goyette Cournoyer & Kristel Tremblay Dominique Leclerc Jacqueline van de Geer Théâtre indépendant // In French. Political failure, romantic failure, the failure of progress, of reason, of art, of our ambitions, and of our grand projects: everything is going just fine. For this new edition of the Cabaret Dada, we celebrate what goes wrong, derails, collapses, and stubbornly refuses to work as planned. Success is suspect. Progress wears us out. Good ideas have lasted long enough. Dada was born from a world in failure. Faced with war, nationalism, and the collapse of reason, the Dadaists did not seek to restore order. They did better: the absurd, collage, appropriation, laughter, noise, and insolence. A century later, we note with satisfaction that humanity still hasn’t understood a thing. In contrast to “checkmate,” here, no one wins. And frankly, who would want to win that game? Dada disrupts the play, overturns the chessboard, and rejects the rules of the game. ÉCHEC ET DADA does not seek to fix the world. Much less to save it. We do not have that pretension. We have others. Since we’ve lost, let’s do something else.
