SAPA preserves and communicates the Swiss cultural heritage in the field of performing arts.

The SAPA Foundation collects, documents, archives and disseminates works in the field of the performing arts (dance, theater, performance) that have been produced in Switzerland, are related to Switzerland or are significant for Switzerland. All these documents form the Helvetica of the Performing Arts.

The staged moment is fleeting, its traces are found in written documents, video recordings, sketches and drawings, models and objects. These must be preserved and made visible and usable for present and future generations. Thus, the foundation sees itself as an institution in the service of science and research as well as cultural creation and the communication of dance and theater culture to society.
