ACT
Performance festival
ACT has been offering a platform for art students at Swiss universities to realize performative projects since 2003. Every year, the festival tours throughout Switzerland, stopping in various cities. The festival events can be considered as an open laboratory for testing out performative projects and artistic strategies.
This year, the ACT Sierre festival will be taking place in the gardens and the room of the ancient swimming pool at Château Mercier. Throughout the day, you'll be able to discover performances by students from édhéa, HEAD, HKB, HGK Basel FHNW and SFGB-B.
