Cadavrul viu

The Romanian equivalent is "the living corpse".

A literal translation would be "cadavrul desavarsit".

The English equivalent is "the exquisite corpse"

Please see below for a history of the Dadaist game and a magazine edited by Andrei Codrescu, a Romanian poet (the "inventor" of Dadaism, Tristan Tzara, also hails from Romania).
