Friedrich D眉rrenmatt 鈥� Soccer
Ever since his first childhood experiences of football followed by his fondness for Neuch芒tel Xamax from the 1960s, Friedrich D眉rrenmatt nurtured a passion for the game, both in his personal life and in his art.
He showed his sense of humour when drawing caricatures of footballers and he invented a football narrative with Switzerland as a football team, F.C. Helvetia 1291.
Highlighting the sport鈥檚 dramatic side., D眉rrenmatt cultivated links between football and theatre, but he also enjoyed using his telescope to watch matches at the Maladi猫re stadium from his terrace!
Enriched by the works of current artists 鈥� Johanna Cartier, Paulo Catrica, Arthur Debert, Pedro Lenz, This L眉scher, Gianni Motti, Phil茅mon Otth and Barthelemy Toguo 鈥� as well as the Neuch芒tel Xamax archives, the exhibition, assembled with a nod to the Women鈥檚 European Championships in Switzerland in 2025, highlights the dialogue between sport and artistic creation.
The exhibition material in english is available on request at the reception desk of the CDN.
