Priscilla Predator: geboren, leben sterben
In their duo exhibition, Paul Fritz and Virginie Sistek revisit a familiar character: Priscilla Predator, part alien messiah, part shapeshifting mystery. Her character was originally created for an episodic radio broadcast recounting her adventures on Earth. Priscilla Predator is a tale of adaptation and the struggles of communication.
For the exhibition at For, Priscilla’s humble radio show is transformed into a proto-theatrical, live-action play: a performance presented every hour, every Saturday, without actors, fully automated.

Konzert - Flora de Geus / Eva & Isaak Duo
1. set: 19:30- Flora de Geus
2. set: 20:30 - Eva & Isaak duo
Flora de Geus is an adventurous jazz vocalist and composer whose career spans the vibrant jazz scenes of Rotterdam, Paris and Basel. Her misic draws on a rich palette of influences, ranging from jazz legends such as Carmen McRae to genre-crossing artists such as Fiona Apple and Noname.
Eva Swiderski (voc) and Isaak Peyer (git) weave a beautiful soundscape of original compositions, textures, and songs that blend folk influences with the colors of modal jazz. Together, they explore distant worlds searching for belonging, connection, and a sense of peace that sometimes feels just out of reach.
