Cabaret Voltaire
The Cabaret Voltaire was a nightclub in the Spiegelgasse in Zurich, opened in February 1916 by the German writer Hugo Ball and the performer Emmy Hennings. Its evenings of sound poetry, masks, music and provocation, with artists such as Tristan Tzara, Hans Arp and Marcel Janco, gave birth to the Dada movement. It closed after a few months, but the venue was reopened as a cultural centre in 2004.
