Saturday, 19 January 2019
PavillonThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Business is slow in this small fog machine factory, and despite inventing astonishing fog sculptures, the owner has to rent out his space to a string trio. The contemplative and musical theatre of Thom Luz pays tribute to the elusive, opening up reality to new wonders.

Saturday, 2 February 2019
PavillonThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
David Foster Wallace’s short story collection reveals the darker side of men’s personalities, sometimes tragically funny, sometimes frightening or even disturbing. Guillaumarc Froidevaux has adapted five of these men’s stories and their direct, frank, candid and humanly unsettling words.

By questioning our representations of maternal figures, Nina Negri broaches the topic of motherhood through its attendant doubts and weaknesses in order to break free from this social injunction that weighs on women. Playing with the codes of theatre and inventive editing processes, M. La Multiple invites us on a mental and sensuous journey about childbearing, beyond the usual clichés.Spectacle programmé dans le cadre des NEWCOMERS avec Brefs entretiens avec des hommes hideux de Guillaumarc Froidevaux.

Swiss Dance Days - de la Cie Greffe/Cindy Van Acker
from
Wednesday, 6 February 2019
to
Thursday, 7 February 2019
PavillonThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
How can we use the body to pay tribute? And to imbue this language with the space necessary to re-connect with another, be they an audience member or one who is no longer with us? Inspired by the paintings of Belgian painter Michaël Borremans, Cindy Van Acker once again ardently throws «her body into battle». The core elements of her choreography – slowness, geometry and abstraction – are this time laced with the figurative, through breathtaking images.
An imposing chandelier hangs in an immaculate space as six surviving solitary and statuesque bodies seek to ritualise absence and solitude, presence and connection. Combining sensitivity and intransigence in three tableaux - the wounds, the light and the pulsating rhythms - «Speechless Voices» is a choreographic poem that pays tribute to friend and composer Mika Vainio. An evocation of the shock waves and pain, this very graphic narrative unfolds to music composed by the late musician.Dans le cadre des Swiss Dance Days
Swiss Dance Days - d'Alexandra Bachzetsis
from
Thursday, 7 February 2019
to
Friday, 8 February 2019
Salle Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Art, as French philosopher Jacques Derrida remarked, depends on how you frame it – a painting’s frame, for example, delimits what is seen. In her piece «Private Song» Alexandra Bachzetsis follows this reasoning and proposes a new «frame» through which the work may be perceptively approached. The goal is to question, emphasize or neutralize the relationship between the audience and the bodies moving on stage. To this end she draws from heterogeneous sources, confronting the voices and codified gestures of Greek Rebetiko with those of Hollywood style fight scenes, as well as visual portrayals of love and war. On a chessboard, solos, duos, trios and songs intertwine. The bodies, though drawn one to the others, end up misunderstanding or misinterpreting and are finally incapable of coming together - because what is acceptable or not also delimits the possibility for action within each given context. Through a phantasmic staging the scenic mechanisms of «Private Song» succeed in channelling both perception and affect and thus impacting the viewer’s perspective.Dans le cadre des Swiss Dance Days
Swiss Dance Days - de Neopost Foofwa
from
Thursday, 7 February 2019
to
Saturday, 9 February 2019
La PasserelleThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
The dancewalk is movement as a voyage. A danced, geographic trace that uses walking as its choreographic basis. It can last for several hours or go on for several kilometres. Invented by Foofwa d’Imobilité, the dancewalk was born in response to the following observation: dance habitually happens in closed spaces, inside enclosed areas of sometimes only a few meters squared. «Dancewalk – Rétroperspectives» proposes a live traced choreographic articulation, along with a video compilation of three years of danced walking from around the word, both alone and in the company of others. Accompanied by dancer Alizée Sourbé, the audience will travel around the globe as they discover the retrospective.Dans le cadre des Swiss Dance Days
Swiss Dance Days - de Daniel Hellmann
from
Friday, 8 February 2019
to
Saturday, 9 February 2019
Salle René GonzalezThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Are not animals, human beings and objects really nothing more than envelopes - or in the first two cases sacks of skin? With «Requiem For A Piece Of Meat» Daniel Hellman blows up the body’s accepted role. Whether dancing, sliding or growling around the performers and musicians transform the stage into a place of encounter and conflict. The moving bodies are accompanied by the voices of the musical ensemble novantik project basel and compositions by Lukas Huber. Between poetry and raw objectivity, sacred music and cries from the slaughterhouse, this funeral mass amidst the living reveals the surprising complexity of our relationship with the flesh – simultaneously fascinating and repugnant, both living matter and savoury meat. After «Traumboy», a documentary solo about sex work, Daniel Hellmann continues his multidisciplinary research into art as it relates to the body - contemporary, sensitive and social - and its paradoxes.Dans le cadre des Swiss Dance Days
Swiss Dance Days - de Yasmine Hugonnet
from
Friday, 8 February 2019
to
Saturday, 9 February 2019
PavillonThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
What is speaking in us when we speak? How do we know that we are alive? Is it desire alone that keeps us standing? Or that inner voice with which we speak to ourselves? After «Récital Des Postures» and «La Traversée Des Langues», Yasmine Hugonnet continues her exploration of the close ties between language and the body, this time in the form of a solo. A song, a breath, a ventriloquist’s murmur – different responses to a wrist or pelvis that seem to move on their own. Voluble and powerful, Yasmine Hugonnet plays with the tension between the delicacy of the sound and the dramatic profundity of her explorations. Surfing on the border between producing and letting happen «Se Sentir Vivant» is the attentive introspection of the body’s different mobile intensities as well as the material nature of our relationship with our own self. An undulating narration unfolds, in which speech is fashioned, resounds and is made manifest in a dilated span of time.Dans le cadre des Swiss Dance Days

An entire clan, as well as their friends, have been summoned to the family manor for the father’s 60th birthday. Nobody suspects anything when the son stands up to make his speech and reveal his terrible truth. A theatrical drama doubled with a film made in real time, which scrutinizes the violence of family secrets.

from
Tuesday, 19 February 2019
to
Thursday, 21 February 2019
PavillonThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Born during the sixties, Anton recounts his extraordinary life. He conjures up smokescreens, commenting profusely and deliriously on humanity to escape his jailers, be they jihadists or agents of a Western secret service. The Congolese author Dieudonné Niangouna has written for the French actor Frédéric Fisbach, a dizzying, dishevelled, poetic and insolent address to the contemporary world.
de Jean-Luc Bideau/Erik Truffaz
from
Wednesday, 20 February 2019
to
Friday, 22 February 2019
Salle Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
The voice of the great Genevan actor Jean-Luc Bideau and the live music of the French-Swiss jazz trumpet player Erik Truffaz turn A Night with Hamlet, a masterpiece of Czech poetry by the author Vladimir Holan, into a solitary and illuminated journey into the night of the mind, seeking out fervent images and flashes of memory.
De Oscar Gómez Mata/Cie L'Alakran
from
Tuesday, 5 March 2019
to
Saturday, 9 March 2019
Salle Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
A burlesque comedy adapted from a cult television series by Lars von Trier, where rationalist doctors rub shoulders with the ghosts that wander around a huge hospital. With his characteristic theatrical whimsy, Oscar Gómez Mata examines a tight-knit hospital community torn between reason and emotion, cutting-edge technology and haunting nightmares...
de Théo Mercier/François Chaignaud
from
Friday, 8 March 2019
to
Sunday, 10 March 2019
Hors les murs
In a parking lot, a motorbike and a dancer engage in a “motor-machic” ritual. Faced with the sculptural power of the machine, François Chaignaud moves from a seductive jig to wizard-like incantations via the sound of baroque harpsichord. The duel becomes a taming, a kidnapping, an aggression, a mating display...
d'Arthur Nauzyciel
from
Wednesday, 13 March 2019
to
Friday, 15 March 2019
Salle Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Drawing from the novel and play by Dumas fils, Arthur Nauzyciel describes the invention of the commodification and moralisation of women’s bodies in the 19th century by the French bourgeoisie. A fascinating and passionate show that merges theatre and cinema to tell one of the most sulphurous love stories and reveal the twisted relationships between love, power and money.
de Gremaud/Gurtner/Bovay - 2b company
from
Friday, 22 March 2019
to
Sunday, 31 March 2019
Salle René GonzalezThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Pièce is a play about a play being played, in which actors play actors acting. As with its previous pieces, the Lausanne-based collective makes use of their keen sense of play and the absurd to document the subtle and myriad relationships that unfold between humans when they gather together – this time, on a stage.
d'Angélica Liddell
from
Wednesday, 27 March 2019
to
Saturday, 6 April 2019
PavillonThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
The Spanish author, director and actor returns to Vidy to

her pain as a daughter, by reconnecting with traditions from
Extremadura, her mother’s region of origin.
de Stefan Kaegi/Rimini Protokoll

young Cubans, and their family stories.

to
Sunday, 31 March 2019
La PasserelleThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
The visual artist Théo Mercier and the dancer Steven Michel
stage an “alpha male” who orchestrates his life in the form of
advice on how to use a furniture manufacturer - a centaur
half-man half-furniture evolving in an artifcial well-being.
de Yasmine Hugonnet
from
Wednesday, 3 April 2019
to
Thursday, 4 April 2019
Salle René GonzalezThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Yasmine Hugonnet’s dance is made up of a serene and
sensitive attention to movements within the body which
transform perception. Between dance and ventriloquism,
Chro no lo gi cal is an invitation to an internal journey
that plays with time and its different dimensions.
de Jérôme Bel
from
Wednesday, 3 April 2019
to
Sunday, 7 April 2019
La PasserelleThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Jérôme Bel, a key fgure of the European choreographic
renewal for the past 20 years, sets about portraying his
choreographic journey. A reconstitution, an archaeological
excavation into over twenty pieces, where he searches for
what occupied a central position in his work: dance.

Friday, 5 April 2019
to
Saturday, 6 April 2019
La PasserelleThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Jérôme Bel propose une lecture du texte de la célèbre conférence Lecture on Nothing (Conférence sur rien) de John Cage. Un manifeste artistique et une expérience d’écoute proche de l’hypnose ouvrant un champ nouveau d’expérimentation par la suspension du sens au profit de l’écoute.

Sunday, 7 April 2019
Salle Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
On stage, Irène Jacob plays an actress dubbing a film dedicated to Didier Eribon’s famous book, Retour à Reims. Thomas Ostermeier has adapted this sociological essay – in French – which merges personal confessions and analysis to describe how the political left wing and the art world have abandoned the working class to its shame, and how the latter can now only recognise itself in the most radical forms of populism.More shows in May/June
de Ntando Cele
from
Saturday, 6 April 2019
to
Sunday, 7 April 2019
Salle René GonzalezThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Bianca White walks onstage with her blonde wig and her
“whiteface”. With the help of her musicians, the diva tells her
story and questions her surroundings, stating that she dreams
of a white world where everybody could overcome their
“internal and external blackness”… until the arrival of Vera
Black, her uncontrollable double. By inverting the blackface
trope, Ntando Cele denounces everyday racism with ironic
humour.

Salle Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
The acrobat and choreographer Yoann Bourgeois continues his inexhaustible quest for the “point of suspension” with Minuit, his new show which merges acrobatics, music and poetry, as well as short forms dispersed inside and outside the theatre. A family-friendly show between circus and theatre, in which the artist tells the story of his life, its ups and downs, its efforts and its tumbles, with mischief and lightness.

d'Alexandre Doublet
from
Wednesday, 8 May 2019
to
Saturday, 11 May 2019
PavillonThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Alexandre Doublet has taken inspiration from Platonov, but he begins at the end, at the death of the Anton Tchekhov’s anti-hero. In the seconds following the tragedy, four of his relatives went through the unpredictable constellation of unspoken words, frustrations and lies that led to this tragic end. The stage is silent and the characters’ confused and love-struck disembodied thoughts can be heard. Who was the first to let happiness drift away ?
de Marlène Monteiro Freitas
from
Thursday, 9 May 2019
to
Saturday, 11 May 2019
Salle Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
A masterful choreography by the Cape Verdean Marlene Monteiro Freitas stages furious Bacchae inspired by Euripides, the Dada movement and popular cultures. Through bewitching and heady musical rhythms, carnivalesque figures and a euphoric, lively, solar and sensual dance, the choreographer brings to life the unpredictable struggle between the Apollonian and the Dionysiac, between reason and intuition.

to
Saturday, 18 May 2019
PavillonThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
The Portuguese author and director's grandmother was going blind and asked him for a book to be memorized. He chooses Shakespeare's sonnets and tells her on stage through a delicate and generous embodied reflection on the theatre and against time, forgetfulness, aging, against absence and disappearance – an intimate and political gesture.Tiago Rodrigues présente également Sopro et Antoine et Cléopâtre
de Tiago Rodrigues

to

Salle Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Sopro – “breath” in Portuguese – speaks of a theatre of which nothing is left, yet is reborn through the memory of a prompter. Between memories of classical texts and backstage anecdotes, Sopro conjures up the invisible side of theatre, as well as that breath which cannot be grasped nor completely controlled, but which nevertheless keeps us alive.Tiago Rodrigues présente également By Heart et Antoine et Cléopâtre

After Shakespeare, Tiago Rodrigues has based himself very loosely on the historical and fascinating love story between Antony and Cleopatra to write a text for two Lisboan choreographers. Little by little – through their bodies and their tender complicity – patiently, lovingly, he becomes Antony, and she becomes Cleopatra.Tiago Rodrigues présente également By Heart et Sopro

Les acteurs·rices de la Promotion 2019 des Teintureries sont
rejoint·e·s par le collectif français Das Plateau qui réunit
Jacques Albert, Céleste Germe, Maëlys Ricordeau et Jacob
Stambach. Das Plateau développe une écriture scénique
totale cherchant à mettre à jour ce qui ne peut se dire, ce qui
ne peut s’articuler, ce qui, dans la complexité du monde, ne
peut ni se dissoudre, ni se résoudre. La beauté qu’ils tentent
de mettre en œuvre porte à la fois la marque de la violence
du monde et la possibilité d’un espoir. Comme à la maison
s’inscrit dans le milieu de la police et interroge la légitimité
de la violence d’État dans un monde instable qui ne cesse de
reformuler son rapport à la force, à l’ordre et au désordre
public.

comme si leur « moindre geste avait été anticipé, tracé, acheté
et vendu avant même d’être réalisé » (Mark Fisher, 2009)…
Mais est-ce vraiment ainsi ? La métaphore de l’errance sans
but, reprise du post-punk des années 80 et mise en regard
avec l’hyper-effcacité qui leur est imposée, peut remettre en
jeu des comportements obsolètes, comme perdre son temps,
fâner, découvrir des espaces marginaux...

The Lausanne-based photographer Loan Nguyen went looking for the people who frequent the lawn between the theatre and the lakeshore : a lively, festive, family-friendly and popular meeting place. Her gaze reveals the diversity of their origins and the paradoxes of this sociability, occupying the space between what is shown and what is not shared.
