I subscribeThis year in Avignon, festival-goers have the opportunity to experience a promising encounter: with theater from the Arab world, whose language is the guest of this 79th edition. From Lebanon to Tunisia, from Morocco to Iraq, creations that draw their most vibrant energy from it should allow them to approach a diverse, abundant scene that has, for the past fifteen years, been driven by intense renewal. A rare opportunity for both audiences and artists.
