Théâtre Vidy-Lausanne presents “Une Nuit blanche (A Sleepless Night)” by Elina Kulikova and Dima Efremov, from 17 to 21 November 2026. It is the final part of their “Trilogie de la guerre (War Trilogy)”.
The story
The “Trilogie de la guerre (War Trilogy)” denounces Russia’s war in Ukraine.
The first part, “Un Champ brûlé (A Burnt Field)”, deals with the classical heritage and violence. The second, “Un Endroit perdu (A Lost Place)”, focuses on folklore and mourning songs.
The Festival d’Automne in Paris presented this third part at the Théâtre Paris-Villette in September and October 2026.

What to find
The two artists are Russian musicians in exile. The show is devoted to Dima Efremov, a pianist and activist.
It deals with forced exile, celebration and the networks that help artists leave Russia. Pop and electronic music, laughter and dance respond to repression.
This part can be seen independently of the other two.
