The art of cleaning up The memo game, for 2+ players, ages 6+ (DE edition)

The Swiss cabaret artist Ursus Wehrli is the king of tidying up. This can be seen particularly well in this new memo game with 72 cards: One picture presents an everyday scene as you know it, on the second picture this scene is then thoroughly tidied up. This series full of wit and esprit sums up our culture’s desire to tidy up.

A noble memory game appears from the most ingenious and original motifs. Senseless regulatory measures can be extremely humorous! Nothing is safe from Wehrli’s organizing hand. The comedian dismantles a wide variety of pictures into their individual parts and meticulously piles up all the elements, or he sorts what was previously a mixed bag. A parking lot is given a color code and you only shop by color in the supermarket. A Beethoven score is tidied up as thoroughly as a picture by Egon Schiele, the map of Europe, like the Vienna subway map, breaks down into its simple individual parts. Naked table football and counted French fries, Wehrli turns our everyday life upside down and emphasizes our obsession with order. In this memory game, the table is cleared without pardon. After that, nothing is what it was before. Each of his fine tidying up orgies is a humorous surprise.

The Swiss Ursus Wehrli, born in 1969, is left-handed, lateral thinker and trained typographer. He has been touring with Nadja Sieger since 1987 as the comedian duo Ursus & amp; Nadeschkin between Berlin, Basel and New York and has received several awards in this constellation. He is known as Mr. Wehrli in the show with the mouse. He got the idea to clean up art when he was surprised at the beginning of winter while getting bread one morning and his ears were cold.
