PATTI BASLER & PHILIIPE KUHN «Postmodern Talking» | Kulturkarussell Rössli Stäfa

Description

The world is a twisted competition. Genes compete in evolution. Since the Stone Age, there has been no further development. Our instincts love caves and pounding beats.
Learnings compete in personal development. Today, online coaches help. But the hits of our childhood remain the most formative.
In societal competition, however, the dumbest ideas often win. Post-factual posts on the net, instead of post office networks: The world seems to have gone mad. The comedy award-winning duo Basler/Kuhn resists this with musical wordplay at its best. Postmodern Talking - never has the end of evolution been celebrated so joyfully. Idea, development + production:
Patti Basler & Philippe Kuhn, Dominique Müller, Corinne Sutter, kulturist.ch Texts & performance: Patti Basler
Sound & performance: Philippe Kuhn
Dramaturgical perspective: Dominique Müller
Lighting design: Peter Schärli Patti Basler: Word acrobat and fast poet Patti Basler writes texts, poems, slams, and brings rhymed nonsense to the stage. From autumn 2026, she will tour Switzerland with her fourth full-length program, host events and poetry slams, or conduct workshops. Whether on radio, television, or in newspapers: she entertains guests and audiences. At an incomparable speed, she can summarize and condense events as Switzerland's fastest recorder directly on stage. She is the recipient of the Salzburg Stier 2019 and the Prix Walo 2019 and was named "Columnist of the Year" in 2022 for her texts in NZZ am Sonntag. Together with her stage partner Philippe Kuhn, she was honored with the main prize of the Swiss Comedy Award in 2024 for the program "L ̈CKE." She runs the podcast "Scharfe Zungen" with Corinne Sutter. Philippe Kuhn: Keyboard virtuoso and musical cabaret artist Philippe Kuhn plays, sings, fantasizes, and musically stages punchlines. The musical cabaret artist, composer, and trained jazz pianist has been creating sound worlds for stage productions for many years and shapes countless cultural formats with his musicality. Whether in the studio, on theater stages, or in music clubs, Kuhn is at home everywhere and provides the right emotional soundtrack for every scene. His musical range extends from Nashville to Montreux, from Stern to Vollenweider, from blues to classical, and from low F to high E. With precise timing, harmonic finesse, and lightning-fast improvisation skills, he can capture and enhance moods. Together with Patti Basler, he was awarded the audience prize of the Swiss Comedy Awards in 2024 for the program "L ̈CKE." While Basler powerfully dissects the world with words, Kuhn provides the fitting soundtrack – somewhere between ironic pop quotes and virtuosic accompaniment. His satirical comments and analyses hit the mark when he gets to speak. www.pattibasler.ch This event is seated.
