The festival Vis-à-vis, a highlight of creative work in prisons, showcases collective creations in theater, dance, music, video, and podcasts. Unique in France and supported by the Théâtre Paris-Villette since 2016, it reveals the vitality of live performance as a space for openness and dialogue. From December 10 to 12 at La FabricA du Festival d'Avignon, Vis-à-vis offers a program born of demanding work and shared commitment, going beyond its social mission to affirm art in all its essentiality.

After English, Spanish, and Arabic, the Festival d’Avignon welcomes an Asian language that now shines across the globe: Korean. South Korean culture fascinates the world : K-pop, cinema, series, literature… But beyond this soft power, we seek to highlight the richness of Korean performing arts.
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 theatre 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.
Because images, sound and digital technology can whet the appetite for live performances, the Festival develops media education projects. Throughout the year, and then in immersion in July, hundreds of young people appropriate the codes of the new media formats to make their voices and those of others heard.
The Festival d'Avignon offers practical workshops designed for as many people as possible, inviting the public to get into action : introductory modules to the world of the performing arts or to reinforce an artistic and cultural education programme.
