Veni, Vidy, Vici
Davide-Christelle Sanvee
from Monday, 29 April 2024 to Tuesday, 30 April 2024
Salle 76, La PasserelleThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Davide-Christelle Sanvee investigates the history of the Théâtre de Vidy, which was built 60 years ago for the 1964 National Exhibition, and relates it to her experience as an immigrant in Switzerland. What is her place within these walls and this architecture? Sanvee has devised a promenade piece that moves between the auditorium and the lakeside, forming three chapters of a critical, inclusive and de-centred history – one that is both past and future.

Guintche (Live version)
Salle 64, Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Marlene Monteiro Freitas
from Tuesday, 30 April 2024 to Friday, 3 May 2024
Salle 64, Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Guintche is a Cape Verdean Creole word for a bird, a sex worker or the fact of moving from one thing to another in a disjointed manner. Dancer and choreographer Marlene Monteiro Freitas plays Guintche, a character hungry for carnival energy, a clown of paradoxes and a devilish puppet, accompanied by two virtuoso drummers. The frenzied dance of her convulsions, both powerful and poignant, speaks to insatiable desire and the hollowed-out time of dreams and machines: a colourful uppercut aimed at life.

Salle 76, La PasserelleThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Amandine Ngindu, a renowned krump dancer from Lausanne who goes by the stage name Mamu Tshi, met her Congolese compatriot Faustin Linyekula at Vidy. Together they traveled to the Kasai region to meet her grandmother, with whom she has no common language. In this danced portrait composed together upon their return, Mamu Tshi expresses herself through words and the restrained power of krump, reaching across the borders of her history.

from Tuesday, 14 May 2024 to Saturday, 18 May 2024
Salle 64, Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
The revival of a molto speciale creation by Vidy! Every afternoon, a team of Italian pensioners play briscola and tressette in the theatre’s Kantina. In 2019, Massimo Furlan and Claire de Ribaupierre invited them to take to the stage. They presented the stories of their life paths as immigrants – arriving as young people in a booming Switzerland, while Italy was licking its war wounds. Together with three secondos from the next generation, they share their memories and dreams, their family and working-class stories. After a successful tour, the show is now returning to Vidy!

Il n’y a que les chansons de variété qui disent la vérité
Salle 17, Le PavillonThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Alexandre Doublet
from Wednesday, 15 May 2024 to Saturday, 25 May 2024
Salle 17, Le PavillonThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Ten years after staging a personal adaptation of Chekhov’s Platonov, in which pop songs expressed the characters’ inner monologues, Alexandre Doublet is revisiting his project: a story told by present-day bodies, in a time in which love and desire are expressed differently. This choral, open-ended play depicts the loves, choices and vagaries of a new generation searching for its compass.

Dançando com a Diferença/La Ribot
from Tuesday, 21 May 2024 to Wednesday, 22 May 2024
Salle 64, Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Opening up to others, experimenting and sharing: for Dançando com a Diferença, La Ribot has composed a dreamlike, jubilant fresco that welcomes the fervent spirit of freedom, discovery and invention of its dancers and their differences. This generous, colourful, intimate and extravagant tribute to the desire to dance and to live, and to the joy of emancipated bodies, unfolds against a film by Raquel Freire shot with the company in the old-growth forest of Funchal in Madeira.

ÔSS
Salle 64, Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Dançando com a Diferença/Marlene Monteiro Freitas
from Saturday, 25 May 2024 to Sunday, 26 May 2024
Salle 64, Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Ôss is the encounter between the grotesque, wonder-filled dance of Marlene Monteiro Freitas and the thriving bodies, souls and beings of Dançando com a Diferença. The visual and rhythmic flourishes of the Cape Verdean artist give the performers the freedom of a carnival, in which high meets low, joy meets tragedy, happy madness meets violence, and glory meets weakness. The result is a frenzy of music, theatre and dance, that welcomes the diversity of the world in all its complexity.

François Chaignaud/Geoffroy Jourdain
from Tuesday, 28 May 2024 to Wednesday, 29 May 2024
Salle 64, Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
t u m u l u s is a marriage of dance and song, celebrated by the encounter between one of today’s most inventive choirs, Les Cris de Paris, and the dancer and choreographer François Chaignaud. Brought together by breath and movement at the top of a mound – a symbol of new life growing out of what used to be – thirteen dancer-singers express impermanence, care and attention in a masterful interpretation of polyphonic a cappella songs dating from the Renaissance to the 1970s, embodying the continuous mutation of a landscape that has become body, relationship, horizon and music.

Plutôt vomir que faillir
Salle 17, Le PavillonThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Rébecca Chaillon
from Wednesday, 29 May 2024 to Sunday, 2 June 2024
Salle 17, Le PavillonThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Adolescence: everything is changing, bearings are shattered/blocked, the body is an unknown land, family is an absurdly incomprehensible entity, discrimination of all kinds abounds. Rébecca Chaillon directs four teenagers on a (gigantic) canteen stage reminiscent of Honey I Shrunk the Kids, using the opportunity to explore her own teenage crises. In a frank and playful manner, she speaks to all those who are going through or have gone through this age, inviting them – through a joy and excess that bring out impossible, unspoken things – to heal themselves, to look after their bodies and their history, to find themselves, and to create their chosen families.

La Manufacture/Fanny de Chaillé
from Wednesday, 5 June 2024 to Saturday, 8 June 2024
Salle 64, Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Fanny de Chaillé places in the hands of student actors the history of the dramatic arts and the aesthetic changes it has undergone since the 1920s. They tackle the subject with their youthful enthusiasm and simple, playful artistic acts. This “theatre of relationships” sets forms, gestures and writing in resonance with contemporary political and social issues, grasping the past of their art as a way of inventing their present.

Anna-Marija Adomaityte
from Thursday, 6 June 2024 to Saturday, 8 June 2024
Salle 96, René GonzalezThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
On TikTok, young dancers stage their bodies through the narrow verticality of the telephone. It is impossible to know whether this is a phenomenon of intimacy or pure artificial fantasy – in which over-exposure and solitude, the virtuosity of gestures and glaring social markers combine. With TikTok-Ready Choreographies, Anna-Marija Adomaityte continues her research into the exhaustion of gesture, alongside young locals she met on TikTok.

Each will be signed by a guest choreographer: Yasmine Hugonnet, from Switzerland, and Radouan Mriziga, originally from Morocco and now based in Brussels. Both artists create bold work that transcends disciplines, inscribing the body and movement in cultural memories that flow through individuals.

EXTRA LIFE
Salle 64, Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Gisèle Vienne
from Wednesday, 12 June 2024 to Sunday, 16 June 2024
Salle 64, Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
It’s the end of the night, the end of the party. A brother and sister meet again. As children, they were inseparable. Until a tragedy destroyed everything. One of those tragedies that words and society cannot express or deal with. Tonight, sensitivity, intuition and analysis offer them a new language and a new field of action. Gisèle Vienne – in collaboration with Katia Petrowick, Adèle Haenel and Theo Livesey – has created a luminous, choreographic and musical experience that is intense, radical and incisive.

Forecast (LX23)
Salle 17, Le PavillonThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Ari Benjamin Meyers
from Wednesday, 12 June 2024 to Thursday, 13 June 2024
Salle 17, Le PavillonThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Ari Benjamin Meyers has composed a concert-performance about the critical and irrational relationships between humans and nature. The intense words of a performer, accompanied by three electric guitars, powerfully evoke the history of weather phenomena and forecasts, as well as the true story of David Buckel, the American lawyer who set himself on fire in New York in 2018 in protest against the fossil fuel industry.

Allegretto
Salle 17, Le PavillonThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
François Gremaud
from Sunday, 16 June 2024 to Saturday, 22 June 2024
Salle 17, Le PavillonThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Performing alone on stage, François Gremaud invites us to listen to the Allegretto from Beethoven’s Symphony no.7, which as a child he called “the most beautiful music in the world”. But first, in an attempt to explain why, and above all “how” this music literally became imprinted on him, he recalls the science-fiction film in which, at the age of seven, he heard it for the first time – a masterpiece in the eyes of François’ father, even though it was disparaged by the critics.

Antigone in the Amazon
Salle 64, Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
Milo Rau
from Wednesday, 19 June 2024 to Saturday, 22 June 2024
Salle 64, Charles ApothélozThéâtre Vidy-Lausanne
In the Brazilian state of Pará, forests are burning due to the expansion of soya monocultures and nature is being devoured by unbridled extractivism. Swiss director Milo Rau and his team went to meet with activists from the Movimento dos Trabalhadores Sem Terra (MST), the largest movement of landless workers in the world, to create together an allegorical play about the violence suffered by nature and the inhabitants of these lands. The director invokes the figure of Antigone to create a fruitful dialogue between contemporary reality and ancient myth, theatre, cinema and music, activism and art.
