Constructed by architect Max Bill in 1964 for a national exhibition, the Vidy Theatre was originally meant for a limited six-month duration. However, thanks to the City of Lausanne and director Charles Apothéloz, it was preserved and transitioned into a hub for ongoing theatre activities. This effort has established Vidy as a key player in the international theatre scene, contributing significantly to the cultural identity and influence of Lausanne over the years, making it a reference point in performing arts.
Max Bill’s theatre design, created for the National Exhibition in 1964, was meant for temporary use but instead became a central cultural venue in Lausanne.
Under the guidance of director Charles Apothéloz, the City of Lausanne transformed the theatre from a short-term installation to a lasting haven for performing arts.
With contributions from various teams, Vidy has evolved into an international reference point for theatre, amplifying Lausanne's cultural presence and significance.
