Since the beginning of the school year, the Festival d'Avignon has been a partner of the Frédéric Mistral highshchool and coordinates the programme of artistic interventions for the speciality and optional theatre courses initiated with the teachers Sonia Bresson and Géraldine Tellène. Whether contemporary, classical or ancient, the students have been able to explore the art of theatre throughout the year by studying works, practising their art, meeting professionals and visiting the venues of the Avignon Festival such as La FabricA, the technical workshops or the Cour d'honneur of the Palais des papes. The 20 to 60 hours of work with the Festival's partner artists enabled the students to immerse themselves in different artistic worlds and methods.

At the end of this second semester, the students and their teachers are happy to share with you the work carried out with the artists Laurent Franchi, Maxime Le Gall and Sara Louis.a time of exchange with the teams and the students is proposed at the end of the restitution.
With the support of the Drac Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur - Ministry of Culture within the framework of the partnership agreement relating to the artistic teaching in the high school, of the academy of Aix-Marseille.
Thanks to 11 - Avignon
