Salle 23, Studio de répétitionThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Rimini Protokoll (Stefan Kaegi/Dominic Huber)
from Thursday, 21 November 2024 to Sunday, 15 December 2024
Salle 23, Studio de répétitionThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Stefan Kaegi met with people who, for different reasons, chose to prepare for their death – an elderly woman, a scientist, an extreme sportsman, a father, a German industrial couple... An immersive scenography, which each spectator is invited to explore alone and at their own pace, gives access to eight rooms or memory chambers staging what each witness wishes to say to the living, after their death. Nachlass is a poignant theatrical experience full of life(s), which was created at Vidy in 2016 and has been touring internationally ever since.

Lecture Yvette Théraulaz/Alice Rivaz

Salle 17, Le PavillonThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Thursday, 21 November 2024 19:00
Salle 17, Le PavillonThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Two months after the creation of Interview 2 - as if following on from that portrait of the actress - Yvette Théraulaz reads texts by Alice Rivaz, and in doing so creates a space where two faces of feminism in French-speaking Switzerland can respond to and reflect one another. The author's words combine with the actress's voice in this spare and engaging public reading of texts by one woman, chosen by the other.

Salle 96, René GonzalezThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Lagartijas Tiradas al Sol
from Thursday, 21 November 2024 to Saturday, 23 November 2024
Salle 96, René GonzalezThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
The Mexican collective Lagartijas Tiradas al Sol meets A, an exiled Nicaraguan woman, whose story reveals a bewildering and little-known world: Central America. This territory south of Mexico is a laboratory of uncertain futures, untangling dictatorships and intrusions by the United States, vast banana fields and bitcoins, dreams of revolution, gangs and exoduses. Rather than representing her story, the artists suggest taking action for her in her own country, since she cannot return there herself. A vast documentary investigation in the service of one woman, combining texts, videos, archives and theatrical inventions, Centroamérica is a realistic and fantastical, political and personal fresco that disrupts the organisation of the present and the imagination of the future.

Hercule

Salle 76, La PasserelleThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Giulia Rumasuglia
from Thursday, 21 November 2024 to Saturday, 23 November 2024
Salle 76, La PasserelleThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Drawing from the exploits of the mythological Hercules, Friedrich Dürrenmatt crafted a gleeful satire of an over-confident democracy: an entire country, buried under a suffocating pile of manure, entrusts a debt-ridden hero with the task of cleaning it up... but he gets bogged down by countless administrative commissions. The text was staged by Charles Apothéloz for Expo64, in what was to become the Théâtre de Vidy. Today, young director Giulia Rumasuglia’s contemporary take on this play is as critical as it is mischievous. By staging it as the jubilant monologue of a Hercules swollen with opposing voices, carried by a single actress, she teases out not only the present-day forms of these muscular imaginations, but also the courage of vulnerability.

L’Amante anglaise

Salle 64, Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Émilie Charriot
from Wednesday, 27 November 2024 to Sunday, 8 December 2024
Salle 64, Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Émilie Charriot brings together three exceptional actors – Dominique Reymond, Nicolas Bouchaud and Laurent Poitrenaux – in order to tackle a seminal text of the French-language theatre repertoire, L’Amante anglaise by Marguerite Duras. The playwright’s inspiration comes from a true story: in a small town, an ordinary woman violently murders her husband and, night after night, throws a piece of his body onto passing trains from a bridge. The murderer confesses but is unable to explain her act: on the contrary, she questions the investigators, as if to understand. Marguerite Duras transforms this fringe news item: here, it is the couple’s maid who is murdered. The novelist spins a patient, introspective dialogue between the woman, an evanescent husband and an interrogator who is half-investigator, half-voice of the author. In the silences of speech, she listens to the repetition of everyday life, bourgeois appearances, the untruth of feelings, the riddle of a reckless deed, and the mystery of a life.

Group50:50
from Thursday, 28 November 2024 to Saturday, 30 November 2024
Salle 17, Le PavillonThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
The Group50:50, made up of Congolese, Swiss and German artists, stages a musical investigation in the north-east of the Congo, home to one of the world’s largest tropical forests, a key factor in global climate balance. Yet recent international agreements against deforestation have imposed a Western-style ecology that takes no account of local communities, who are nevertheless respectful users of the forest. This lively show, which features both spoken word and music, informed by a wealth of personal accounts, aims to highlight a decolonial form of ecology. 50:50 weaves the arts together in search of a non-Euro-centric way of bringing to life the relationships between cultures, people and the forest.

Salle 96, René GonzalezThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Malicho Vaca Valenzuela
from Wednesday, 4 December 2024 to Sunday, 8 December 2024
Salle 96, René GonzalezThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
The infinite love between his grandfather and grandmother permeates Malicho Vaca’s filmed and dramatised diary, 50 years after Pinochet’s brutal military coup and at a time when the fledgling democracy is experiencing a new social and political effervescence. The young playwright and actor travels around the changing country through personal memories and family anecdotes: behind his screen, he clicks in Google Earth on the alleyway where his family has lived for four generations, before moving around his city, Santiago. Through his delicate and sensitive use of the Internet, Zoom and the archives stored on his hard drive, the simplest facts of a Chilean family life seem to resonate with history.

Le spectacle qui écoute enfin la parole des enfants

Salle 76, La PasserelleThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Lola Giouse
from Friday, 6 December 2024 to Sunday, 15 December 2024
Salle 76, La PasserelleThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Le spectacle qui écoute enfin la parole des enfants tells the story of a little girl’s radical gesture in front of two adults and an audience. Who is speaking and who is listening? Or rather: who has the right to speak and who gives themselves the right? Or again: who knows how to speak and who seems not to? Children know that sometimes adults think they’re doing the right thing by accompanying and encouraging those who are smaller than they are, even with the best of intentions. But in this new creation by Lola Giouse, the children are invited to express themselves, and the adults are asked to stay quiet this time. A lively, frank show about the inventive, assertive voice of children.

Arrebentação - zona de derrama dernier chapitre

Salle 17, Le PavillonThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Catol Teixeira
from Wednesday, 11 December 2024 to Saturday, 14 December 2024
Salle 17, Le PavillonThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
With a joyful and unpredictable vitality, Arrebentação experiments with the possibility of an open and free, composite and hybrid communality. Catol Teixeira extends the dialogue between circus, classical and contemporary dance, the festivities and celebrations of her early choreographies, by inviting the performers, their experiences and their dreams to mingle, however multiple, contradictory or parallel they may be. Arrebentação refers to the moment when swell waves become breakers, the abrupt passage from one to the other, the instant suspended between these two states – or the impetuous dance of hybridisation, in a leaderless space-time.

Les chats ou Ceux qui frappent et ceux qui sont frappés

Salle 64, Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Marlène Saldana/Jonathan Drillet
from Thursday, 12 December 2024 to Saturday, 14 December 2024
Salle 64, Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
An animal fable, a modern jazz ballet and a kabuki operetta: Les chats brings together performers from the musical Cats who have decided to flee society because the future of the planet seems so compromised, and to challenge their human condition by living like cats. Steeped in memories of 1980s Broadway, these hybrid creatures form an isolated community, safe from catastrophe. In order that even the smallest kitten, in this cold darkness under the stars, may contribute to a better future, they will sing and dance their fears, doubts and hopes, carried by the sound of the shô, the Japanese mouth organ. Will they ever return home? Where is real life? Are they still alive?

Opération Rumba

Salle 64, Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Dieudonné Niangouna
from Wednesday, 15 January 2025 to Friday, 17 January 2025
Salle 64, Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
A lyrical, poetic, theatrical and musical epic combining storytelling, performance and live music, woven from the rhythms of Congolese rumba. This popular music grew out of the cadences of the Kingdom of Kongo, which crossed the Atlantic during the slave trade, and blended with the Caribbean and the Americas before returning to enliven the African independence movements. Author, actor and director Dieudonné Niangouna, the storyteller of winding and duplicitous paths, orchestrates this epic tale of two brothers from Europe who set off for the Congo in search of their uncertain origins. Like the rumba of the two Congos, their journey will be made up of encounters with whimsical characters between fiction and reality, myth, popular songs, and political wounds: a carnivalesque and poetic saga about the secret of origins and the trafficking of inheritances.

Cindy van Acker
from Tuesday, 21 January 2025 to Saturday, 25 January 2025
Salle 17, Le PavillonThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
“Something happens. Or else, something does not happen. A body moves. Or else, it does not move. And if it moves, something begins to happen. And even if it does not move, something begins to happen,” wrote Paul Auster. Cindy Van Acker invites the movement of the fugue. Inspired by the retrospective of the Flemish painter Léon Spilliaert (1881-1946) at the Musée de l’Hermitage, the choreographer has gleaned from these canvases the slow fluidity of time, the gentle interweaving of light and shadow, horizons that seem to open onto the abyss. In a choreographed, understated duet, she seeks out a form of movement that is brimming with possibility and the intimate joy inherent in freeing transition, transformation, and passage when they appear, evanescent, fluid and porous to what comes next. One might say unfinished – not to imply that something is missing, but to convey the sense that what is absent is as much a part of the journey of the moment as what is there.

Par autan

Salle 17, Le PavillonThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Théâtre du Radeau/François Tanguy
from Wednesday, 29 January 2025 to Saturday, 1 February 2025
Salle 17, Le PavillonThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Par autan could be the stage of a bygone theatre buffeted by the four winds, or perhaps the frenzied workshop of a craftsman whose scattered visions spring to life. The shows put on by the Théâtre du Radeau, a renowned European troupe for whom Par autan will be the last opus, are all about the magic of theatre: conjuring up images and horizons with simple devices and memories of poems. The murmur of poets, the piano next door, the fleeting fireflies of a philosopher, the gaze of the moon on the sleeping lake, dance and song on the fly, a comedy of music and palimpsestic words... In the company of Walser, Kafka, Kleist and Chekhov, familiar words combine with the movements of the scenery chassis, the glances of companions, wind in the curtains and musical tunes in a lively, comical and multifaceted tableau: a journey from Fellini’s daring swerves to Dostoyevsky’s intrigues, a happy wandering, an encounter like the autan – a sea wind from the south, the wind of ancient mills and sorcerers, a breeze or storm that is said to drive people mad.

Salle 96, René GonzalezThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Nathalie Lannuzel
from Friday, 31 January 2025 to Friday, 14 February 2025
Salle 96, René GonzalezThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
The actress Nathalie Lannuzel has written and directed her first play, and it is to the theatre that she entrusts her story. It is the account of a family, of a shattered childhood. A violence that is rarely spoken of, that is only just beginning to be heard: incest. For so long, it was necessary to keep silent in order to survive. But in order to live, one must write and tell. The words that come out do not attempt to describe reality, but the power of life that runs through it, from the silence of childhood, the silence of an entire society. A courageous text, written with hindsight and care so as to listen to the child, heal the adult and provide food for thought about personal and collective violence, what is said and what is not. Nathalie Lannuzel entrusts her words to a quartet of actors, creating a choral, shared voice – because that is what is at stake: forging new bonds in response to destroyed relationships.

Salle 17, Le PavillonThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Olivia Grandville
from Saturday, 8 February 2025 to Thursday, 13 February 2025
Salle 17, Le PavillonThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
In 1524, the poor rose up in southern Germany. The uprising spread and soon reached Switzerland and Alsace. One figure stood out from the chaos, a young theologian fighting alongside the insurgents: Thomas Müntzer. Novelist Éric Vuillard tells the story of his romantic life, and paints a timeless portrait of those forgotten by history. Choreographer Olivia Grandville uses a fragmented mix of dance, music, visual arts and voice to give life to this gripping tale, the heady momentum of anger and the march towards the abyss. Actor Laurent Poitrenaux reads the text in this animated, luminous and musical space, creating temporal bridges between past and present as an uprising unravels the course of history.

Salle 64, Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
As the Portuguese playwright and director’s grandmother begins to go blind, she asks him for a book to learn by heart. He chooses Shakespeare’s sonnets, bringing them to the stage in a delicate and generous reflection on the theatre and against time, forgetting, ageing, absence and disappearance.

Catarina e a beleza de matar fascistas

Salle 64, Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Tiago Rodrigues
from Tuesday, 11 February 2025 to Friday, 14 February 2025
Salle 64, Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Playwright and director Tiago Rodrigues revives his Chekhov-style period production of a contemporary family and political drama: for decades, a Portuguese family dedicated to fighting fascism has been meeting in the countryside. Every summer, one member of the family takes it in turns to ritually murder a fascist. This year, everything is ready, the victim is designated, and it is the eldest daughter’s turn to carry out the deed. But she rejects violence as a means of action. Dissension within the clan – although bolstered by the same convictions – erupts between the generations, between those who have moved to the city and those who have stayed in the country. The populist, on the other hand, has no such hesitations... A powerful and wonderfully portrayed story that lucidly observes the rise of populism in Europe and the people who are trying to resist it, questioning our relationship with violence.
