Context
Tzara and Carr are debating the nature of art. The two men do not like each other: Tzara thinks Carr knows nothing about art, while Carr is offended at the reductive attitude Tzara takes toward war. Eventually, the argument grows so heated that Tzara just begins to repeat the word “Dada” over and over.
