L’eau à la rencontre de la ville

A year later, exactly 150 years after the Jura water corrections, we went back to Yverdon-les-Bains and proposed an “urban installation”, through which we wanted to activate the area, and promote the emergence of ideas for the future of the city. 

The installation consisted of three fragments that formed a new scenographic path along the former original shoreline of Lake Neuchâtel, and that served as a starting point to reflect on the past, to understand the present and to imagine the future potential of the city’s waterfront area. 

We invited regional artists to perform on the installation, during the second edition of the cultural festival La Dérivée. This resulted in artistic performances, vibrating between sound, light, music, theater and dance.
