Robert Bouvier
Landis & Gyr Stiftung Residency
1996
Robert Bouvier is a Swiss theatre director, living and working in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. Robert spent 20 years in France, where he has directed the celebrated Théâtre du Passage since its creation in 2000. For him, the role of theatre is ‘to teach people to love each other, to try to make them curious, to keep them a certain flame.’
In 2006, Robert was named Chevalier by the French state, and in 2020 received the Office of the Order of Arts and Letters, given to those who contribute to the influence of the arts and letters in France and around the world.
