Did you know that the 80th Avignon Festival poster features a question mark banging its fist on a table? It is a way of celebrating an edition characterised by questions, fruitful doubt and curiosity.

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.
The Festival d'Avignon has joined forces with Making Waves to offer young people from all over France the opportunity to discover the world of live performance and learn radio and interviewing techniques.
