Weezar

About

An artistic and technical platform

Founded by Vincent Wüthrich, engineer and illusionist.

Our story

An engineer by training and a visual artist with more than twelve years of experience, Vincent Wüthrich ran the scenery workshops of the Comédie-Française before going independent, becoming a specialist in advanced technical solutions for live performance.

With Weezar, he brings those two experiences together to widen that expertise and to put together project teams able to answer the needs of shows and events of every size.

  • A design office able to handle both integration and bespoke work
  • A close watch on technologies and methods that can be applied to live performance
  • A network of partners for fabrication
