Théâtre du Jorat, Wooden theatre in Mézières, Switzerland
The Théâtre du Jorat stands entirely constructed of wood, harmoniously integrated with neighboring farms in the Vaud region, 20 kilometers from Lausanne.
Established in 1908 by René Morax with financial support from Werner Reinhart, the theatre became a cornerstone of Swiss performing arts.
The theatre presents numerous theatrical productions, musical performances, and contemporary works throughout its seasonal program to over 1,000 spectators.
Starting in 2024, the theatre will undergo renovation works to enhance visitor facilities, with activities resuming in June 2025.
The premiere of Arthur Honegger's 'Le Roi David' and Gustave Doret's compositions marked significant moments in the theatre's musical legacy.
