Hugo Ball in the Role of the Magic Bishop at the Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich [1] is the informal title of a photo depicting Hugo Ball performing at Cabaret Voltaire in 1916.
Ball wears "a sort of dunce cap topping off what looks like a tin cape — the cap is striped and he has claws for hands[2].
- Photo taken in 1916 by an unknown photographer in Zurich, Switzerland for a publicity postcard to promote the 1916 programme of the Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich. The Kunsthaus Zurich holds a large reproduction of this photo (Dada-Sammlung, inventory # VI:5) and also doesn't know the photographer. See also Hess, Birgit: »Sphäre des Wilden ... Sphäre des Spiels« Masken und Puppen im Dada Zürich: ›Agenten‹ der Alterität und Performanz, PhD dissertation, 2003/2006, University of Trier, Germany, pp. 190ff and p. 420. As an anonymous work published 1916 in Switzerland, the Swiss copyright on this photo would have expired on January 1, 1947, and in the EU the photo would have gone out of copyright on January 1, 1987[3].
Some sources state that the photo was taken on June 23, 1916.
