Les Docks, Performing arts center in Sévelin, Lausanne, Switzerland
Les Docks is a performing arts center in Lausanne with multiple adaptable performance spaces housed in a modern structure. The facility offers flexible room configurations for different types of artistic presentations and can accommodate up to 1,020 visitors depending on the space used.
The building originally served as the Theatre des Roseaux, initially built for Expo 02 at the Neuchâtel waterfront site. It was later relocated and reopened as a permanent institution in Lausanne in 2005.
The venue hosts a mixed program of Swiss and international artists working across different musical genres and artistic styles. Visitors encounter both established performers and emerging talents throughout the year, reflecting the artistic diversity the space celebrates.
The center includes an exhibition gallery, a bar for refreshments, and professional-grade technical equipment for sound and lighting. Visitors should check accessibility details for different spaces and parking options in the surrounding area before attending events.
The Foundation for Contemporary Music manages and programs this space, making it a special hub for experimental and innovative musical forms. This stewardship has made it an important platform for promoting music forms that are harder to find elsewhere.
