Lausanne-based choreographer Mamu Tshi presents Love Under at Théâtre Vidy-Lausanne. Nine performances run from Wednesday 25 November to Friday 4 December 2026.
The story
Mamu Tshi, born Amandine Tshijanu Ngindu, was born in the Congo and lives in Lausanne. She made her debut at Théâtre Sévelin 36 in 2019. In 2020 she won the “Dancer of the Year” title in krump. She also runs Like A Woman, a platform that opens stages to women in krump.
She created L’Héritière (The Heiress) in 2022, which toured across Switzerland. With choreographer Faustin Linyekula she co-created a solo about her Congolese heritage. It was performed at Vidy and at Chaillot in Paris in 2023 and 2024. She also took part in the Akram Khan Company’s Portraits in Otherness series.
Théâtre Vidy-Lausanne was born of the 1964 Swiss National Exhibition. The artist and architect Max Bill designed it on a module of five-metre cubes. Planned as temporary, the building has been renovated several times.
Who organises it
Théâtre Vidy-Lausanne hosts the show in Salle 96, René Gonzalez. The theatre uses its “Vidy à ton prix” (Vidy at Your Price) scheme. Each spectator chooses a rate within a range. The reduced rate is for under-26s and CarteCulture holders.
What to find
Love Under brings together a duo of krump dancers and an Afro-descendant hip-hop and soul musician. The piece explores Black masculinity in the face of racism and inequality. It draws on urban music and African American imagery. It offers a space for reinvention and healing, where wounds become stories.
