Who owed whom? The case of Sonia Delaunay-Terk and her designs for Tristan Tzara’s play Le Cœur à gaz at the Parisian “Soirée du Cœur à Barbe” of 6 July 1923

Original language description

In July 1923, the so-called &quot;Soirée du Cœur à Barbe&quot;, an opulent soirée with poetry, theatre, film, dance and music, was staged in the Parisian Théâtre Michel, co-organized by Tristan Tzara, &quot;director&quot; of the Dada movement. A key element of the soirée, often seen as the closing event of Dada in Paris, was the staging of Tzara&apos;s theatre play Cœur à gaz, for which Sonia Delaunay-Terk designed the costumes. As such, she appears nowadays in male-centred Dada historiography in the context of the event as a side figure in a show by Tzara in her role of costume designer and as such as one of &quot;Dada&apos;s women&quot;. A closer and unbiased look at the immediate prehistory and the preparation of the event – leaving the anachronistic framing of the event as Dada project (and as such a project in an exclusively male designed programmatic frame) for what it is –, there can be no doubt that the roles between Delaunay-Terk and Tzara in the early 1920s were rather opposite to current-day historiographic and scholarly assessments, Delaunay-Terk not owing consecration from Tzara, turning her into a Dadaist she never was, but rather vice versa Tzara owing consecration from Delaunay-Terk as a relevant author, after the demise of Dada late 1921.
