The Filmballad of Mamadada plot

Tribute to the life and work of Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven (1874-1927), who was part of the New York Dada movement in the 1920s but, unlike many male Dadaists, was forgotten. More than fifty young artists bring together her versatility as a sculptor, poet, painter, model and performance artist in this collage, which swings back and forth between classical narrative and experimental fragments of form in the style of the 'exquisite corpse' technique invented by the surrealists.
