Ok lets do this

I am thinking to look into surrealism and dada  as it is  as it is all about dreams and hallucinating often from starvation like Joan Miro used to do to himself and also dali.
 surrealism  and dada are the two related movements which dominated the inner war years. some really beautiful work was created at this time as I suppose a form of escapism .
dada was created in switzerland  in and around the cafes of zurich. Dadaist mocked all established values, all  the traditional good tastes in art and literature, it was anarchic, nihilistic and disruptive.
The name dada was a nonsense baby talk word meaning nothing.
So if I am to look into this genre  how do I do this ?
My first initial thoughts to little Red riding hood and this  immediately conjures up the idea of sweet little red riding hood visiting her grand mother in the woods





Ok so I want to turn this from sweet little red riding hood into the anarchist , nihilist and disruptive to make the audience sit up and see that this play isn t the norm and is saying something  i just need to work out how on earth to do this .
