| Festival Description | The mission of the Festival is to showcase French and foreign contemporary drama and dance creations and stage performances in general—about forty productions each year, to an ever-growing audience (around 100,000). There are about twenty, rather unusual, performance venues in Avignon and near the the city including cloisters, churches, the famous Pope’s Palace, an old stone quarry and school halls.Each year the Festival changes its programme which, since 2004, has been determined with an associate artist. It is largely composed of productions which, when the Festival’s artistic director selects them, have never been performed in front of an audience before. In fact, many of them are first seen on stage in public at the Festival. |
