Presentation

It is inconceivable for Valérie Dréville to be an associate artist of the Festival d'Avignon without mentioning Antoine Vitez. With the Festival d'Avignon, several students, colleagues and friends of Antoine Vitez got together to discuss his still tangible presence in today's theatre, to have his words ring out, those words in movement that continue to be a stimulant. To shed light on the many dimensions this man of the theatre had, and on his remarkable richness – director, pedagogue, poet, translator – they imagined rendez-vous with different forms and contents, mirroring Antoine Vitez himself.

These rendez-vous will be opened by a cycle of accounts on the work and the man, in collaboration with France Culture.
