Abstract

V originále

Revue Dona Kichotka byla uvedena na sklonku roku 1927 jako originální program divadla Dada, které založil Jiří Frejka po odchodu z Osvobozeného divadla. I tato revue (jejíž text se torzovitě dochoval) dokazuje, že program Dada aspiroval na linii společensky angažovaného satirického kabaretu v návaznosti a ve spolupráci s členy někdejší Červené sedmy.

In English

In the spring of 1927, after the rupture between Frejka and Honzl, Frejka and his adherents left to found a new experimental theatre in Prague, named the Dada Theatre. Their first programmes consisted of satirical avant-garde cabaret shows called The Hanging Tables (Visací stoly). In December 1927, Dona Kichotka, the first from the series of Dada-Revues, was produced. In Dona Kichotka, all Dada members as well as the members of the Red Seven cabaret theatre (Červená sedma) took part. Despite the fact that the Dada programmes did not prove as popular as the better-known and indeed legendary Vest Pocket Revue, which was put on at the Liberated Theatre at the same time, it has to be stressed that unlike Voskovec and Werichs revue, Dona Kichotka used political satire to raise issues of feminism and emancipation, it pointed to the rising statistics of abortions, the abuse of the power of the press, political shenanigans etc.
