list of shows coproduced by vidy
Beside its own productions, the Théâtre Vidy-Lausanne supports a few artists in coproduction.
iN COLLABORATION
NTANDO CELE
With Go Go Othello, Ntando Cele, a South African actress, singer and performer, likens the role of Othello – a rare black leading role, long played by white actors – to the place of black actresses on stage today. At the intersection of performance, autobiography, theatre and concert, Ntando Cele embodies the life stories of actresses of yesterday and today, questioning the persistence of racial stereotypes.

IGOR CARDELLINI/TOMAS GONZALEZ
The theatre collective Cardellini|Gonzalez closely examines ordinary situations to reveal the forces that structure society and identities, by playing on the effects of reality. Showroom is a diorama on the idea of progress, a living archive of uselessness and obsolescence. L’Âge d’or is a series of archaeological visits to places of power, with a commentary describing them as if they had disappeared. Un Spectacle continues this research by working on the representation space.

FRANCOIS GREMAUD
2b company produces the creations of François Gremaud and those of the GREMAUD/GURTNER/BOVAY collective. Its repertoire includes a variety of forms, like so many opportunities to share a serene yet humorous moment of joy. Phèdre! and Giselle... (created in Vidy in 2018 and 2021) are two parts of the trilogy that François Gremaud has devoted to three great tragic female figures of classical performing arts: Phaedra (theatre), Giselle (ballet) and Carmen (opera).
