12th Rencontres Recherche & Création – La Traversée des secrets

Arts, fiction, and live performance continuously enrich our experience of the world and our reflection, while the scientific approach, through analysis, observation, and experimentation, constantly pushes the boundaries of knowledge. Research advancements bring new insights, showing how culture is a key driver of human evolution and the formation of societies. Now more than ever, both culture and research must engage their forces in describing the world, reflecting on it, and inventing.

By bringing together artists featured at the Festival d’Avignon and scientists from various fields, these Rencontres help resonate the ideas behind the works and the most recent research. It is a new space for sharing knowledge created with the public to think differently about the present world!
