The Avignon Festival is reputed for its freedom of expression. The three-week annual bonanza of theatre, dance, conferences and recitals is a place where anything can happen. At a time when conflict has erupted again in Europe, performers from around the world are encouraged to share their vision in an atmosphere of peace and solidarity.
Festival director Olivier Py insists that Avignon’s strength lies in the solidarity between international artists, who gather to share their creations in a dynamic, peaceful environment.
