What was "Karawane" about?
- Karawane was written by Hugo Ball, a Dada Poet.

What was the purpose of the costume in "Karawane"?
- The unusual costume was meant to emphasize the difference between the poet and the audience
- It was designed in such a way that the "non-sense" words used in the poem would be harder to interpret
- The costume was curated with randomness, and no real logic
