The Théâtre de Vidy is a theater in the Lausanne district of Vidy in Switzerland.
The building was erected by the Zurich architect Max Bill for a six-month use at the Expo 64 , after which it was not demolished as planned, but continued to be used. It has a large hall ( Salle Charles Apothéloz ) with 400 seats, a small one ( Passerelle ) with a little over 100 seats and a permanent tent in front of the building ( chapiteau ) for around 200 spectators.
