Every summer at the Avignon Festival, the French National Research Agency brings researchers and artists into dialogue.
Avignon Festival
To stage, each year, for France's National Research Agency and within the Avignon Festival, three days on which the festival's programmed artists and researchers from different disciplines work together in front of an audience. A space for sharing knowledge, not a conference.
A rare interdisciplinary crossroads: writers, actors and choreographers set their work against recent research. For the Agency, a showcase for the projects it funds; for the performing arts, a way of identifying their own research needs. Over the period, one edition was cancelled by the pandemic and another run entirely remotely.
