This advertisement for the little dada soirée (Kleine Dada Soirée), a show featuring Theo and Nelly (who used her stage name Pétro) van Doesburg, which was both provocative and musical (Nelly van Doesburg was an accomplished pianist) and Vilmosz Huzàr. For additional notoriety and entertainment Kurt Schwitters was part of the act and would interrupt van Doesburg by making animal noises or reciting poems from the audience. MoMA attributes the piece to both van Doesburg and Kurt Schwitters.
