Digital publication of the Beatriz Consuelo collection
In February 2019, Frédéric Gafner, alias Foofwa d’Immobilité, entrusted the SAPA Foundation with the archive of his mother, the dancer and teacher Beatriz Consuelo.
The collection documents the life and career of Beatriz Consuelo: childhood, private life, career as an actor, dancer and teacher, as well as the honours and awards she received during her career.
It comprises nearly 900 photographs, press articles, programmes, diplomas and honorary titles, medals, personal documents, notebooks and exercise books, correspondence and publications (books and journals), as well as 32 audiovisual documents.
You can explore this collection in the Swiss Performing Arts Platform database and at our office in Lausanne.
