Dada Jihad is a project comprising members of several bands and independent theatre groups, managed by the theatre director Mario Kovač. The group bases its work on spatial installations that use the human body exclusively as an object, and on live concert performances that accompany the screenings of silent films using unusual instruments. They also complement film screenings with actors' live movements, thus creating a kind ofmusical metatheatre aimed at reaching the ideal of total theatre envisioned by avant-garde movements back in the early twentieth century. The topics they address are usually socially engaged. The project does not have a fixed line-up but gathers musicians on anad-hoc basis, with the regular participation of Tomislav Babić, Višeslav Laboš (DJ Labosh), Dragan Pajić Pajo, Damir Kantoci, Maksimilijan Ružinski, Ana Franjić, Zrinka Kušević, Dean Krivačić and others. Dada Jihad have performed at a number of festivals and events in Croatia and elsewhere in Europe.
