The University of Applied Sciences and Arts Western Switzerland (HES-SO) presents an artistic programme dedicated to tomorrow’s artists, brought to life through an original scenography.
Each year, HES-SO teams up with Paléo to offer a unique artistic programme. Thanks to the passionate involvement of around a hundred students, this ambitious project becomes a reality. Expect a line-up focused on up-and-coming talent, spectacular stage design, fun stands and engaging activities... A vibrant space for living, meeting, discovering and celebrating day and night.
In 2025, HES-SO students approach the Paléo Festival with a delicate touch
Through their project Ether, they invite the audience to explore the theme of fragility, within a universe where lightness and resilience coexist in harmony.
Throughout the year, the students have examined fragility in all its forms: natural, human, and technical. Their installations and activities will offer the public a chance to experience and reflect on this multifaceted concept. Each one plays with ambiguity, aiming to deconstruct the clichés commonly associated with fragility.
