REVIEW: The Festival d'Avignon Presents LE PAS DU MONDE By Collectif XY
Some festivals go out with a whimper. Once the excitement of the opening production in the Cour d'Honneur has passed, the remaining artists often present more modest, less foregrounded projects. There are concerts, readings, and other events, and it remains a vibrant hub of activity, but it is never…
REVIEW: The Festival d'Avignon Presents MUETTE By Boris Charmatz
Boris Charmatz dances with discomfort. His work Muette, now in performance at the Festival d'Avignon's La Chartreuse, offers no easy viewing. Earthy movement, prolonged silence, and nudity combine in an unsettling yet riveting exploration of the body. Charmatz seeks to dance the interior self, a sel…
REVIEW: The Festival d'Avignon Presents CASTING LEAR By Andrea Jiménez
What better way to close out the Festival d'Avignon than with a love letter to the theatre? At the conclusion of Casting Lear, now performing at the Opéra Grand Avignon as part of the Festival, creator and performer André Jiménez makes an impassioned case for the art form. …
REVIEW: The Festival d'Avignon Presents UN PROCÈS By Christiane Jatahy and Wagner Moura
In Christiane Jatahy and Wagner Moura's Un Procès Après l'Ennemi du Peuple, now performing at the Festival d'Avignon's Gymnase du Lycée Aubanel, Thomas Stockmann finally gets his day in court. Reimagining the events of Ibsen's An Enemy of the People in contemporary Brazil, the production transfor…
REVIEW: The Festival d'Avignon Presents NEIGE, NEIGE, NEIGE By Lee Jaram
With its generous public funding for culture, France's Festival d'Avignon can produce theatrical spectacles on an extraordinary scale. Its directors regularly push the formal limits of the art form with enormous casts, technological innovation, and elaborate stagecraft. …
REVIEW: The Festival d'Avignon Presents BUNKER By Marion Siéfert et Matthieu Bareyre
In his podcast, political commentator Ezra Klein has examined a curious conundrum within the modern elite: the pursuit of extraordinary qualities divorced from their original purpose. Looksmaxers have become sterile in their pursuit of superhuman beauty. …
REVIEW: The Festival d'Avignon Presents THE LAST HAMLET By Ben Duke
In a BBC interview, famed director Katie Mitchell calls for fewer productions of Hamlet. She is tired of attending plays about “misogynistic, angry, depressed men.” I respect any artist defining the boundaries of what interests them. …
REVIEW: The Festival d'Avignon Presents TERCES By Johann de Guillerm
Across the Rhône from Avignon, in the picturesque town of Villeneuve, sits Villeneuve en Scène. The site, usually associated with the Festival “Off,” contains food trucks, a bar, picnic areas, and small courts where locals play rounds of boules. Toward the back of the festival grounds stands a…
REVIEW: The Festival d'Avignon Presents BÂTIR By Salim Djaferi and Clément Papachristou
Some performances in Avignon require me to put on my Euro-goggles. Sometimes the adjustment is one of taste: comedy, for instance, varies dramatically between American and continental European sensibilities. Other times, it is a matter of social vocabulary. Race functions very differently in America…
REVIEW: The Festival d'Avignon Presents 1,2,3 POQUELIN By tg STAN
Molière is a surprising figure to hold such a central position in French culture. The image of France as sophisticated, understated, and elite extends only partially to his oeuvre. In practice, Molière’s theatre appropriated and elevated the popular Italian tradition of commedia dell’arte.…
