From its foundation in 1986, the Philippe Saire Company has created some thirty shows, with more than 1,400 performances in 200 cities across Europe, Africa, Asia, the Middle East and America. The Company also performs regularly at art galleries, in gardens, urban spaces and other outdoor venues. From 2002 to 2012, the Cartographies project, which combines performances and video production, has born witness to Saire’s constant desire to get dance out of the interior performing space. The 11 in situ choreographies, filmed by 9 producers from French-speaking Switzerland, including Lionel Baier, Fernand Melgar, Bruno Deville, Pierre-Yves Borgeaud and Philippe Saire himself, were shown 300 times in festivals around the world. This taste for experimentation also led to the creation of a an ongoing series called Dispositifs with choreographies on the verge of visual arts. Cie Philippe Saire is in permanent residency at Théâtre Sévelin 36, Lausanne.
