Patrons' Circle

Join the Patrons' Circle

The Patrons’ Circle of the Vidy-Lausanne Theatre brings together individual sponsors who support the theatre in its missions of production, creation, and accessibility for a wide audience.

It fosters the creation of a modern, active theatre open to contemporary aesthetics and assists Vidy in its support for artists – from its guidance of artists from the creative process through to talks with the audience.

The generous support from patrons contributes significantly to the production of ambitious, free-thinking, and sophisticated artistic programmes created by Swiss and international artists.

• Thursday 7.11.2019: Meeting around Bajazet - en considérant le Théâtre et la peste by Frank Castorf
  Frank Castorf has adapted Racine and combined this material with texts by Artaud. His art of theatrical and vital immoderation explores how, when it comes to this classical French author, the tragedy of existence is born from collusions between private passions and power.
