REVIEW: The Festival d'Avignon Presents MALDOROR By Julien Gosselin
by Wesley Doucette - Jul 9, 2026
As long as there's been 'the novel,' theatre practitioners have used it for inspiration. Operas, melodramas, and tragedies have dramatized the novel’s psychological depth, expansive worlds, and literary rhythms for scenic experience. Given this history, for a director today to investigate the “adaptation of the novel” as a theoretical impulse might strike one as redundant.

by Wesley Doucette - Jul 21, 2025
Les Amazones d’Avignon, a local feminist collective, distributed flyers to audience members entering the Cloître des Carmes for Milo Rau’s Le Procès Pelicot.

Andrew Ousley curates a number of delightfully strange events for DOC, and this night was no exception.
EDINBURGH 2023: Review: SHOWSTOPPER, Gilded Balloon Teviot, Turret
by Kat Mokrynski - Aug 27, 2023
From the moment she steps onto the stage, Klein is here to show the audience that she is a star. She emerges wearing a bright pink dress and struts on the stage, holding herself confidently as she greets the audience. Her opening song, in which she sings about the star being “Totally me,” is an absolute bop and immediately had me hooked.
Review: The Festival d'Avignon Presents MILK By BASHAR MURKUS
by Wesley Doucette - Jul 18, 2022
In Avignon's 'other theatre', a purpose built space some miles out of the city center, Bashar Murkus presents his new dance theatre piece Milk. It is an elemental meditation of death, rebirth, and disaster. It is this theme of disaster in particular that captivates Murkus's imagination. The piece occupies itself with the viscera of the human experience, and expresses that by having blood, water, and milk spill onto the stage floor. Though for all this connective tissue to the anxieties of the present day, its poetic visual language doesn't expand far past the realm of homage to theatre artists who came before.
