The artists take over the city, its neighbourhoods, spaces and streets, transforming and rediscovering them while questioning our relationship with the world.
The festival is largely free, and takes place mainly in public spaces in the historic centre of the town of Yverdon-les-Bains. It hosts around thirty artistic projects, mainly in the fields of live arts and live music.
The Castrum's programme is designed as a journey through multiple and varied universes. The idea is that everyone can add to it according to their desires and affinities. It draws on reflections from today's society and invites us to rethink the way we work and think.
Accessibility and proximity are central to Castrum, and the festival's aim is to showcase the human element, living together and conviviality.
