preview

February 1916. The First War spitting two hundred kilometers north. Hugo Ball rents a back room at Spiegelgasse 1 and accidentally invents the 20th century. A late-evening loop through the alleys where Dada was born — the bar, the bookshop, the window Lenin stared out of when he couldn't sleep through the noise.

“Felt like we had a friend in Zürich for a night. The Café Odeon stop, with the espresso — chef's kiss.” — David & Anne · Portland

“The bit at the Lenin window made me cry, actually. We'd been in Zürich four days and this was the first time it felt like a real city.” — Margaret K. · Boston
