«Philovision» at Vidy, a successful but incomplete parody

Announced as the first major event of this theatrical season at Vidy, the European Philosophical Song Contest by Lausanne artists Massimo Furlan and Claire de Ribaupierre aims to put philosophy to music on the stage and thus stimulate critical thinking. Le Regard Libre attended last Friday, and although the show is a masterpiece of staging, the thinking seems little present, or even absorbed by the form of the performance; as a result, one can't help wondering at times, like the Pixies' song: Where Is My Mind?

On Tuesday, June 11, 2019, at the «Shanju» workshop-school based in Gimel, in the middle of nature, we meet Laetitia Dosch, Franco-Swiss actress and director. A charming and welcoming person, she generously gave us some of her time to talk about the revival of her show Hate. It's a duet with a horse named Corazón, performed in 2018 at the Théâtre de Vidy, and revived from August 29 to September 1 in Gimel, to launch the new theater season.

A luminously macabre dance

At the Théâtre de Vidy, death occupies the stage in Forever, a performance combining dance and music that reveals our relationship to the finitude of our existence, as well as to the possibility of eternal life.
