The aim of this cultural and artistic highlight is to present and promote projects by artists from the contemporary performing arts scene, both in Switzerland and abroad. Audiences can see circus and dance performances, theatre productions, performances, exhibitions and open-air concerts, as well as taking part in group discussions such as workshops, meetings, workshops and debates. This makes the far° festival des arts vivants a very varied event in terms of artistic offerings, paying and/or free, accessible to everyone.
Since 2018, far° has had the distinctive feature of being a venue with two distinct temporalities; its activities extend throughout the year under the name of the fabrique des arts vivants, whose main axes are support for creation - and more specifically for emerging contemporary artists - hosting artist residencies, long-term artistic accompaniment as well as mediation and cultural participation initiatives.
