"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."
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.
