This shows what would be considered a strange ritual dance and singing from all the cast. At the end we see Hugo(who is the main part of the movement) in a strange tin suit who is then booed of by the audience and has things thrown at him. This is accurate to when he tried to recreate a sacred African ritual and was aparantly induced into a trace from reading it.None of the audience understood what was going on(as this was something different to the other acts they  had on before). soon after the failer of his shows the little place behind a pub(which they had rented with the promise of getting the place more business).Hugo and his cords soon moved out and went their ways but the dad movemtn still remains to this day.
DADA had been chosen at random from a dictionary and was actually a breast feeding product and other things. This was supposted suggest the random nature which was DADA.
