Handkerchief of Clouds: A Tragedy in Fifteen Acts ( French: Mouchoir de Nuages) is a French-language Dadaist play by Romanian-born author Tristan Tzara. [1] Tzara described it as an " ironic tragedy" or a "tragic farce", composed of 15 short acts, each with an accompanying commentary, with a strong influence from "the serialized novel and the cinema." [2] Its action, he continues, should be staged on a platform in the centre of a box-like room "from which the actors cannot leave" [2] It was first staged on 17 May 1924 at the Théâtre de la Cigale in Paris. [3] The play was Tzara's last Dada production. [4]
