Daddy
Salle 64, Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Marion Siéfert
Saturday, 29 March 2025 16:00
Salle 64, Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Mara is 13 and dreams her life on her smartphone. Through her avatar in a web-based video game, she meets Julien. “If you want to become an actress,” he tells her, “it’s going to happen now, in the Metaverse”. He offers to be her sponsor, her daddy, so that she can join another online platform, this time without an avatar and for adults. Based on a real-life investigation into the online abuse of teenagers, Marion Siéfert has written a work of fiction that reveals the logic of domination over children and how society allows it to happen. A teeming, chilling and fascinating performance that ranges from video game to theatrical drama.
FRKS
Salle 17, Le PavillonThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Igor Cardellini / Tomas Gonzalez
from Saturday, 29 March 2025 to Friday, 4 April 2025
Salle 17, Le PavillonThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Monsters are transgressive, boundary-crossing figures, free from the norms that separate and stigmatise. As such, they can offer us a point of entry into self-narratives that explore murky territories. Splitting its textual and visual material, FRKS stages the voice of a queer person from the near future, contrasting it with a series of disturbing images that reinterpret the codes of the freak show. This monstrous and beautiful theatrical ode seeks to remake fluid spaces between the human and the inhuman, the normal and the strange, nature and culture.
Lenz
Salle 96, René GonzalezThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Éléonore Bonah / Maria Clara Castioni
from Tuesday, 1 April 2025 to Thursday, 10 April 2025
Salle 96, René GonzalezThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
by Georg Büchner
In a mountain village, two women take in Lenz the wanderer, the poet, the idealist, in the depths of solitude, on the verge of collapse. They describe what he said, and what they saw. Georg Büchner’s novel recounts the wanderings of the poet Lenz through the testimony of the pastor Oberlin. For their remarkable graduation show from La Manufacture, Éléonore Bonah and Maria Clara Castioni have entrusted the great German actress Anne Tismer and the young Luna Desmeules with a new version of the story, as seen by two women, told in their own words.
Toi, moi, Tituba...
Salle 17, Le PavillonThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Dorothée Munyaneza
from Tuesday, 8 April 2025 to Thursday, 10 April 2025
Salle 17, Le PavillonThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
A woman’s body emerges from the shadows to the notes of Khyam Allami’s oud. Through breath, voice and dance, Dorothée Munyaneza becomes a body-archive, a black chrysalis, a refuge, and a spectre of the lives of oppressed women. Choral solitude in a haunted space: black female figures of the resistance – dominated, ostracised, dispersed, erased from narratives and memories – are remembered in the present in this graceful and powerful tribute. Inspired by texts by Maryse Condé and Elsa Dorlin, Toi, moi, Tituba... is neither an incantation nor a ritual, but a face-to-face encounter with the unquiet memories of colonisation.
Hominal / Öhrn / Öhrn
Salle 76, La PasserelleThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
M.C. Hominal / M. Öhrn / L. Öhrn
from Tuesday, 8 April 2025 to Thursday, 10 April 2025
Salle 76, La PasserelleThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Reversing the relationship between performer and creator of a show, Marie-Caroline Hominal invites Swedish director and video artist Markus Öhrn to direct her. He responds to this act of independence – this time, the dancer has chosen the person with whom she wants to work – by turning the dancer into the reincarnation of his grandmother Eva Britt, who returns from the dead to fully experience, at last, her freedom as a woman. A performance that serves as an outlet, playing with the imagery of the undead and driven by the spirit of emancipation.
La Médaille ou À chacun son monstre!
Salle 96, René GonzalezThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Marielle Pinsard/Débora Beuret-Strambini
from Wednesday, 30 April 2025 to Sunday, 11 May 2025
Salle 96, René GonzalezThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Based on a fairytale by Marie-Thérèse Picard
One child saves another by a river – it seemed to be battling a monster. And yet now they are bickering with a violence they have modelled on grown-ups! Will they succeed in joining forces against the monster? Marielle Pinsard and illustrator Débora Beuret-Strambini have adapted a children’s story by Guyanese author Marie-Thérèse Picard. A poetic, theatrical journey featuring drawings, vinyl records made of paper, sound effects and ventriloquism, is a reminder of the importance of empathy and reliance.
Perchée
Forêt du Théâtre Vidy-LausanneThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Mathias Brossard/Collectif CCC
from Friday, 2 May 2025 to Saturday, 7 June 2025
Forêt du Théâtre Vidy-LausanneThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Inspired by Baron Perché by Italo Calvino
Young Cosima has rebelled against her parents and has perched in a tree near Vidy. She has no intention of coming down again, especially as her life in the trees leads her to make incredible encounters: up in the canopy, Cosima discovers philosophical meditation, the idea of political activism and the joys of love! But Perchée is also a group of friends sharing their reading of Baron Perché by the Italian author Italo Calvino. The book takes them on a thrilling rediscovery of life, nature and human society and its strange foibles, which they share with the children sitting around the tree.
Cyrano de Bergerac
Salle 64, Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Lola Giouse
from Monday, 5 May 2025 to Sunday, 11 May 2025
Salle 64, Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
d'Edmond Rostand
Cyrano de Bergerac is a masterpiece of the repertoire that speaks of love in a lively and inventive language. It is often seen as a bravura performance, reserved for acting “giants”. To enable it to be heard anew, Lola Giouse has brought together a group of liberated and powerful actresses: together, they reveal the nuanced richness of the so-called secondary characters and showcase the marvels of alexandrine punchlines, put at the service of all and not just one – to dispel the fascination, and fully embrace chosen relationships.
Tapajós
Salle 17, Le PavillonThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Gabriela Carneiro da Cunha
from Wednesday, 14 May 2025 to Saturday, 24 May 2025
Salle 17, Le PavillonThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Brazilian artist Gabriela Carneiro da Cunha’s long-term artistic research focuses on ravaged rivers and the women who are fighting to heal them – and in so doing, caring for their own bodies, spirits and children. In the Amazon rainforest, the Munduruku mothers are contaminated by the Tapajós river, polluted by mercury generated by illegal gold prospecting. The play is the result of an alliance between mothers – mothers from the Tapajós river region, Munduruku mothers, mothers of families, mother fish, mother forest and mother of the river – and the connection between the mercury used to reveal the gold in the water and a silver halide photograph. Tapajós is a ritual performed by a duo of actresses, inviting us to perceive the invisible in water. It was created in Brazil and performed in the forest before travelling here, enabling the walls of Vidy to echo the call of the Amazon river.
ODE
Salle 23, Studio de répétitionThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Catol Teixeira/Sandar Tun Tun
from Thursday, 15 May 2025 to Saturday, 24 May 2025
Salle 23, Studio de répétitionThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
In this duet, dancer Catol Teixera moves with the immersive music of musician Sandar Tun Tun, in a piece dedicated to moments of change, of falling, of contact. In an emotional landscape, when we sense that something is about to happen – or even that it has just happened – time seems curved, unscored, free-falling. Like waiting for a thunderstorm to arrive, perhaps: a kind of omen, a promise of something that is going to happen, beyond our control. The senses become very attuned: the dampness of the ground intensifies, wind caresses the skin, the birds stop singing – and then, the storm.
Le Sommet
Salle 64, Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Christoph Marthaler
from Friday, 16 May 2025 to Sunday, 25 May 2025
Salle 64, Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
For his sixth show at Vidy, Christoph Marthaler has brought together six actors and musicians from Italy, France, Switzerland, Austria and Scotland for an expedition... to the summit. Gipfel in German means ‘summit’, and can refer to a mountain peak or a political conference, but also... a Parisian pastry. Which of these will be the subject of this new play? In the musical theatre of this brilliant Swiss-German director, people sing, often lose their way, and sometimes find what they were not looking for. Humour and music do the rest. Much like Europe, which is searching for its bearings, there can be no doubt that the summit will be reached, though the paths to get there might be tortuous.
Wasted land
Salle 96, René GonzalezThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Ntando Cele
from Friday, 16 May 2025 to Saturday, 17 May 2025
Salle 96, René GonzalezThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
This whimsical and political performance is carried by the Bern-based South African artist Ntando Cele, a dazzling performer with a lively and ironic energy. She confronts the human disasters of fast fashion and Western feel-good ecology, reassured by organic labels and the comforting promises of recycling. When one person’s sustainable dream becomes another person’s disaster... Featuring the Egyptian composer Wael Sami Elkholy and three singer-performers, Wasted Land is a spirited, musical plea for a decolonial ecology.
Zucco
Salle 17, Le PavillonThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
La Manufacture / Gabriel Calderón
from Wednesday, 11 June 2025 to Thursday, 12 June 2025
Salle 17, Le PavillonThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Gabriel Calderón and the acting students of La Manufacture’s theatre BA programme delve into Bernard Marie-Koltès’ last play, loosely based on the life of the Italian serial killer Roberto Succo. Through this figure representing the darkest sides of humanity, they examine the issue of violence stemming from social inequalities and exclusion.
