Detailed programme

Sélection Suisse en Avignon

Launched by Pro Helvetia and Corodis in 2016, Sélection Suisse en Avignon (SCH) is a platform dedicated to promoting contemporary Swiss theatre, dance and performance creations. Each year, it offers artists from Switzerland a unique opportunity to present their work at the heart of the Avignon festival. They also receive individualised guidance helping them to maximize the impact of their presence in Avignon and to forge contacts that can open doors to future tours on the professional theatre and festival circuit.

Festival d’Avignon OFF

Sélection Suisse en Avignon is part of the Festival d’Avignon OFF and will be presenting a curated selection of Swiss stage productions from 7 to 20 July 2025. The Festival d’Avignon is one of the world’s most important performing arts festivals, attracting large numbers of visitors each year including numerous event organisers and festival managers.
