A lot of world class musicians visit Zurich and this Thursday is no different. Bass player, Tim Lefebvre is town this week and is completing a week of workshops at the ZHdDK with a show in the Mehrspur.

Christmas is a wonderful time but i know many people find it to be an orgy of consumerism and unbridled capitalism. If you need an antidote then Theatre Neumarkt are presenting part three of Mike Bonanno, Hayat Erdoğan & Jeremy Nedds dance adaptation of Howard McCoy’s classic depression novel, They Shoot Horses, Don’t they? The previous edition received rave reviews which you can read here.

After all that dancing are you ready for…well…more dancing? You are? Great. Then head towards Wollishofen as Zoo Station are hosting a great live up of DJ’s. Don’t worry about missing the last train home. The party is going on until 7 in the morning.

Any regular visitors to Bahnhof Wiedikon will have noticed there is often graffiti extolling the virtues of veganism and gently critiquing those that still enjoy meat and dairy.

But as well as removing the dairy, eggs etc they are cutting down on the refined sugars as well. Pay them a visit on their opening day.
