Theatre

The Catalyst undertook its first steps into theatre at its very beginnings, and  theatre still plays a large role for us. Plays can tell us secrets about science. Embark on a journey to discover these mysteries and share them with the audience in a spectacular way.

We regularly produce both adapted and original plays in Lausanne, recently in tight cooperation with our spin-off CatalystPlays, for example: Puppet Theories (2013), An Enemy of the People (2014), Blue Butterfly (2015), and Proof (2018).
