Suite aux mesures annoncées par le Premier ministre ce jour, notamment d’un couvre-feu à 21h applicable dès la fin de cette semaine dans les départements de Vaucluse et du Gard, les équipes du Festival d’Avignon réorganisent, dans le plus grand respect des règles sanitaires, Une Semaine d’art en Avignon.
L’attentat qui a coûté la vie a Samuel Paty est une innommable barbarie. Défendons le modèle d’inclusion républicaine à la française et défendons notre idée de la démocratie dont l’école est la première pierre. En dépit de l’horreur et du deuil, il nous faut espérer.
23 to 31 October 2020
“Semaine d’art en Avignon” is a quote, a reference. It was the first name given in 1947 by Mayor Georges Pons and Jean Vilar to the event which would become the Festival d’Avignon. From 23 to 31 October, 2020, 7 shows will be performed in a dozen venues in Avignon and the surrounding area.

The Festival d’Avignon actively promotes artistic and cultural education through its teaching service, moments of practice (workshops, visits…), teaching material made available online, and training seminars, all of which are available to educational teams and teachers.
The Festival-avignon.tv–young culture reporters in Avignon project, created by the Festival d’Avignon, the Ceméa and Canopé in 2014, gives youths from Avignon the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the digital realm, the Festival, and their city all at once.
The Festival d’Avignon gives citizens the opportunity to take part in each of its editions by lending their voices or becoming part of a group to testify of the vitality that comes with being together, but also of the power of singularities. It can be a dramatic series in the garden of the Ceccano library every day of the Festival or works that put at their centre the fragility and sincerity of testimonies… a way of experiencing the Festival from the inside, of walking along all its geography and to give intensely to the public.
