- History of Viscenda -
When was Viscenda established?
Viscenda was officially founded in Olten, Switzerland (4600) on October 11, 2025. While the official launch date is recent, the concept behind Viscenda has been developing for a considerable time.
What motivated the founding of Viscenda?
The genesis of Viscenda lies in the passion of its founder, Jylien Vincent Freiburghaus, for books, film, and performance. With seven years in theater and multiple literary works in development, Jylien sought a major film role after finding motivation in the theater piece “1918.ch”.
The casting process for the film Jakobs Ross was a pivotal turning point. When the outcome suggested a struggle against entrenched interests, Jylien made a powerful decision: he would bypass the traditional system and create his own platform. This core belief—the necessity of self-creation—was born then.
Shortly thereafter, Jylien faced a profound personal challenge: a
C-PTSD-related burnout that necessitated a complete break from
work. This period became a powerful catalyst for growth. After a
valuable year dedicated to personal well-being in a psychiatric day
clinic and subsequent work in social areas, Jylien was ready. He
reached out to close friends who enthusiastically embraced the
concept, and the project swiftly gained momentum, growing into
the Viscenda association.
What was Viscenda's inaugural project?
The first project undertaken by Viscenda was “Echohaut”, a dramatic narrative focused on mental health. Echohaut explores various psychological issues through an authentic lens, specifically adopting the perspective of the troubled individuals involved. The project is designed to be compelling, realistic, and highly effective in raising public awareness.
Who were the original members?
Originally Viscenda had 7 members.
The Founding Meeting was attended by five core participants: Jylien Vincent Freiburghaus, Adrian Wuffli, David Carvallho, Angela Freiburghaus, and Sarah (please ensure her full last name is recorded).
Two other invited members were expected to attend but were unable to join. One missed the meeting because they slept through, and the other was absent because they were sick.
