Ce débat est proposé dans le cadre des répétitions à Vidy de Retour à Reims de Thomas Ostermeier, une nouvelle production du Théâtre Vidy-Lausanne à voir les 5, 6 et 7 avril dans le cadre de Programme Commun et du 28 mai au 15 juin en clôture de la saison 18/19.

Drawing their inspiration from film, theatre and literary texts, as well as documentary accounts, our shows create a dialogue between choreographic, cinematographic, and visual works. By examining our tumultuous history, questioning the perpetual movement and metamorphosis of our identities, and searching for the elements that connect us, Vidy’s programme invites you to share in the creative experience.

Many of our performances are appropriate for an English-speaking audience, either because they are performed in English or because they use a choreographical, musical or visual language.

FORCED ENTERTAINMENT
Two performances in English

Real Magic
4-7.12.18
Theater

It’s like a television game show where contestants have to guess what their competitors are thinking of. Forced Entertainment leads the audience, trumpets blaring, on a game that no one can win. A theatrical gem that l eaves you gasping for breath; joyous yet nightmarish.

The Notebook
Based on The Notebook by Agota Kristof
10-12.01.19
Theater

Carefully adapted from Agota Kristof’s masterpiece, two British actors read in unison the notebook kept by twin brothers sent to the countryside during the war, in which they describe their attempts to render themselves invulnerable to pain.

MUSIC
Makes you lose control

FRANÇOIS CHAIGNAUD/NINO LAISNÉ
Romances inciertos, un autre Orlando
12-15.12.18
Dance/Music

Dancer and singer François Chaignaud, along with a baroque quartet, bring to life the incandescent metamorphosis of three traditional Spanish figures : Doncella Guerrera who set out for war dressed as a man, Garcia Lorca’s sensual San Miguel and the Tarara, an androgynous gypsy.

OTHER SUGGESTIONS
Smoke on the water

THOM LUZ
Girl from the Fog Machine Factory
16-19.01.19
Theater/Music

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.
