Playground in the summer season at La Branche

Playground in the summer season at La Branche in Savigny.
La Branche welcomes more than 146 children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Around 450 staff work there. Structured into nine mixed, multi-generational, family-sized residential units, La Branche is a place to live that resembles a village: a performance hall, swimming pool, school, playgrounds, restaurant and grocery shop open to the public, etc.
Located in the Lake Geneva region, in Savigny, 15 km north-east of Lausanne, the estate also includes a farm. It comprises 35 hectares of forest, fields and a garden cultivated according to the principles of biodynamic agriculture.

Would you like to know more about Playground?
Playground is a comical and absurd production that rises 8 metres high, combining Chinese pole, dance, theatre, acrobatics and humour. A tragicomedy full of surprises and unexpected twists and turns. This is Miguel Rubio’s challenge: his set design comes to life thanks to those who decide to support it. Eight chairs form part of the structure, and the audience who occupy them become a fundamental pillar. Without them, the show would not hold together.
As he tries to balance on the Chinese pole, Miguel Rubio faces unpredictable situations. To overcome them, he needs the physical and emotional help of the audience, who become essential accomplices in the show. Playground is a warm and characterful solo show based on a collaborative anchoring system. Here, the connection between the artist and the audience is key: without their support, the magic does not work.
