Countdown to Avignon


Avignon lives and breathes theater in July, when the 61st Festival d’Avignon takes over the city’s streets and stages. After Jan Fabre and Josef Nadj, whose programs made dance an equal partner in the annual festivities, this edition’s Guest Artist is French director Frédéric Fisbach, who puts the focus squarely back on the written text : René Char, Paul Claudel, Jean Genet, Tony Kusher, Valère Novarina… Follow what’s happening with news and photos, coming soon.
