Festival d'Avignon
OpenFrom 05 July 2013 to 26 July 2013
The Festival d'Avignon is the forum for encounters, discovery, debate and exchange among artists, aesthetics, spectators and the public at large of all origins and all generations. The Festival is both a place of reference and the source of new ideas, a teeming, stimulating scene for three weeks in July. The Festival d'Avignon programmes more than 40 different works in twenty different venues ranging from small chapels seating 150 to the legendary Honour Courtyard in the Palace of the Popes which holds audiences of 2000. Festival directors since 2003, Hortense Archambault and Vincent Baudriller established the Festival office in Avignon to solidly anchor the festival in the territory from which it springs. The Festival is the opportunity to discover new creations, which are a major force behind the energy unleashed in July. For the 2012 Festival, half the artistic teams came to Avignon for the first time.
The joint work and exchange between the festival directors and the associated artist(s) give rise to a unique artistic territory every viewer is invited to explore. After Christoph Marthaler and Olivier Cadiot in 2010, Boris Charmatz in 2011, Simon McBurney in 2012, Dieudonne Niangouna and Stanislas Nordey will be the associated artists for this 67th edition of the Festival d'Avignon.
In addition to theatre and the performing arts, the Festival is also brimming with debates and shared ideas in several forms, such as the"Vingt-cinquième heure", the "Sujets à Vif", the"Théâtre des Idées", the "Territoires Cinématographiques" and others. Installations, exhibitions, conferences, readings and many other offerings add to the choices.
