On October 20, 2022, actor Steffen Shortie Scheumann and musician Volker Pohlmann will commemorate Kurt Schwitters and his MERZ lecture evenings at Ballhaus Wedding, which united Cabaret Voltaire with Dada in the 1920s and 1930s.

Through contact with Herwarth Walden's "Sturm" circle, the painter Kurt Schwitters presented his own poetry, prose, critical texts and graphic works, and between 1918 and 1933 developed a varied and intensive activity as a collagist and writer. From 1923 to 1932, he edited his publication series MERZ, which, in addition to his own pictorial and literary works, presented many outstanding avant-garde artists of the time, and organized MERZ lecture evenings in the spirit of the Dadaist "Cabaret Voltaire."
