Arsenic

Arsenic is a contemporary performing arts center based in Lausanne, dedicated to the promotion and creation of cutting-edge dance, theater, and performance art. The website serves as a digital gateway for its diverse programming, offering seamless access to ticketing, seasonal subscriptions, and information about its onsite café and community spaces. It functions not just as an information hub, but as a vital cultural touchpoint for the local and international arts community. The visual identity is strikingly bold and avant-garde, utilizing a high-contrast, maximalist aesthetic that mirrors the experimental nature of the performances it hosts. Through the use of massive, expressive typography, a vibrant and unconventional color palette—including electric magenta—and iconic graphic motifs like the hypnotic spiral, the design commands attention. It targets an intellectually curious and culturally engaged audience that appreciates modern art and unconventional design sensibilities.
