Michael Günzburger and Petra Ronner “Die Besten Stücke” (The Best Pieces)
From the glamorous Villa Langmatt, Michael Günzburger and Petra Ronner descend with their best pieces directly into the basement of Perla-Mode on Langstrasse … “Die Besten Stücke” is a reworking of a joint exhibition by artist Michael Günzburger and musician Petra Ronner, which last year explored the history of Villa Langmatt and its former residents, the Brown industrialist family (Brown Boveri & Cie.), at the Langmatt Museum in Baden.

Kaspar Weiss “Hans Fischer’s Legacy”
Actor Kaspar Weiss displays items from the legacy of his family, the Zurich-based Fischer family of artists. In the message salon on the first floor of Perla-Mode, Kaspar Weiss is installing a selection of items from the estate of his grandfather Hans Fischer, the well-known Swiss illustrator of, among other things, the cult children’s book “Pitschi” and stage designer for the legendary Cabaret Cornichon, as well as from his uncle, the actor and illustrator Kaspar Fischer. A selection of the pictures, drawings, objects and documents on display will be available for purchase at an auction hosted by Kaspar Weiss on Saturday, 2 June.

Kaspar Weiss “Hans Fischer’s Legacy – The Auction”
Enriched with nostalgic anecdotes, historical facts and personal insights, the auction offers the eager audience not only a unique opportunity to purchase a historic artefact, but also an entertaining glimpse into Zurich’s art and cultural history. Auctioneer Kaspar Weiss is supported by Zurich actresses Wanda Wylowa and Oriana Schrage.

“Tittanic goes Züri”
The show “Tittanic” is the ratings hit of the Tojo Theatre in Bern, created after an overdose of testosterone. Only where it says Tittanic on the label are there actually tits inside! The content of the popular series is randomly determined by the creator and host of “Tittanic”, Sandra Künzi. At Perla-Mode, the notorious authors Ulrike Ulrich, Zurich, Susi Stühlinger, Bern/Schaffhausen, and Sandra Künzi, Bern, will be reading. They will be accompanied musically by the equally notorious duo Suzanne Zahnd and Sibylle Aeberli from Zurich.
