Select one of three excerpts from this performance.
Dada artist, filmmaker and writer Hans Richter created the extraordinary colour sound film Dreams That Money Can Buy (1946), which features a penniless protagonist who has the ability to create dreams and devises a business selling them to others. Among his customers are some of the greatest names in the Dadaist/Surrealist movements, including Man Ray, Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp and Fernand Leger. The film was presented with a live musical score, composed and performed by The Real Tuesday Weld and narration by English alchemist David Piper with Brazilian chanteuse Cibelle. The event was co-produced by Marek Pytel.
