About us

History

In 2020, on the initiative of Igor Diakoff and Marijana Mijanović, the first edition of what was then called Baroque à Prangins was held. The initial intention to involve the Prangins community in all the stages of the project's development was immediately put into practice through the valorisation of the various skills of our fellow citizens at all stages of the project. In order to continue the adventure and to perpetuate this event, the Prangins Baroque association was created at the end of 2020. Just like the first edition, the one in 2021 on the theme of the Italian Baroque was sold out and in 2022 the adventure continued with waiting lists on the theme of the Italian Baroque. The fourth edition, in September 2023, will focus on the myth of Apollo and Daphne, with all the shows sold out. The fifth edition will be held from 2 to 8 September 2024.

2023: Apollon and Daphné

For this fourth edition, our week of baroque events will be inspired by the new permanent exhibition Ovid in the Juraof the Swiss National Museum and the myth of Apollo and Daphne, taken from the great poem the Metamorphoses of Ovid. The themes it evokes are still relevant today - domination and violence, mockery and harassment, consent in love - and have prompted us to devote this edition of Prangins Baroque to it.
