“Dada Changed My Life” is a documentary about the occupation of the building which housed the Cabaret Voltaire, birthplace of Dada in Zürich, Switzerland, 1916. This work details the two-month international effort by artists to rescue the Cabaret Voltaire which generated the most influential movement in contemporary art, 86 years after its founding, from transformation into luxury apartments and a pharmacy.

Why did he not make a greater effort to avoid the outbreak of a hopeless war and to prevent attacks that destroyed his palaces and his kingdom, killed his sons, and caused him to end up in a hole in the ground?
