Where does your inner fire burn its brightest? This year, Brandhaarden festival welcomes the Swiss Théâtre Vidy-Lausanne. This theatre is firmly committed to an art form that confronts the audience with the realities of today. At the same time, it expands the accessibility of the performing arts by embracing a wide range of artistic languages — theatre, dance, film, music, visual arts — while placing sustainability at the heart of its practice.

Théâtre Vidy-Lausanne

Théâtre Vidy-Lausanne is a leading performing arts house on Lake Geneva, housed in a modernist building designed by artist-architect Max Bill. With four halls, a foyer-bar, and a view of the Alps, it offers a unique setting for artistic creation and encounter.
