REVIEW: The Festival d'Avignon Presents LA DISTANCE By Tiago Rodrigues
by Wesley Doucette - July 28, 2025
A two-person epistolary drama between a father and daughter - On the surface, this sounds like the kind of conventional, writer-driven theatre that the Festival d’Avignon seeks to disrupt.

by Wesley Doucette - July 28, 2025
Through music, dance, and storytelling in the Festival d’Avignon’s beautiful Cloître des Célestins, a company of performers brings to life the story of a family.

Adapted from Gaël Faye’s novel, Gahugu Gato (Little Country) offers a gentle telling of a harrowing history.
