From the forecourt to the stage and behind the scenes, secondary school pupils and young people from social, medical-social and judicial support services take part in artistic activities alongside guest artists. They all come together for one event: the Festival de La FabricA, a huge celebration that showcases the work carried out throughout the year to promote access to culture for everyone.
WEDNESDAY 8 APRIL 2026
80 people have gathered at La FabricA to present the programme for the 80th Festival d'Avignon. Forming a choir, festival-goers take to the stage to give voice to the Festival and tell the story of the upcoming edition.

Once again this year, the “J’y suis, j’en suis” scheme enables young people aged 11 to 25 to experience the Festival d'Avignon in a different way. Group bookings are now open, whilst individual bookings will open on 3 April.
On the programme: 3- or 4-day stays to discover the Festival through performances, workshops, meetings with artists and opportunities to share experiences.
A unique experience, without accommodation, to immerse yourself in the heart of artistic creation.
What if I don't understand anything? Will I feel like I belong? Am I dressed correctly?
Faced with these questions that we have all asked ourselves, the Festival works to make performing arts accessible to all. The "Fisrt time" project was born out of the desire to answer these questions, to respond to a desire to feel at home or to make coming to a performance more comfortable.
This programme offers young people from Avignon and the surrounding area the chance to experience the Festival in a different way: shows, workshops, meetings with artists and social events during a three- to four-day stay without accommodation.
4 5 6 MAY 2026
At the beginning of May, pupils from partner schools and beneficiaries of social, medico-social and judicial structures in the region present the results of workshops conducted throughout the year with associated artists.
