كيف يمكننا أن نرسم الإبداع والإنشاء المستقبلي؟ يدعو برنامج الانغماس هذا، الفنانين الشباب الصاعدين، الفرنسيين والدوليين إلى تجربة Festival d’Avignon كحقل تجارب. تغذّي تفكيرهم، لقاءات، وورش عمل، وعروض، وتمرينات، مما يفضي إلى عروض متاحة للجمهور وللمحترفين.

All the commitments of the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès are guided by a single conviction: "Our actions shape and reveal who we are." In other words, actions help those who engage in the public interest to grow. The Foundation creates the necessary conditions to pass on expertise, foster artistic creation, protect the environment, and encourage acts of solidarity through various programs that support its beneficiaries in building the world of tomorrow. 

The Fondation d’entreprise Hermès has been a partner and patron of the Festival d’Avignon since 2024.  

In line with its commitments to creation and transmission, it is particularly supporting the Transmission Impossible project and the play NÔT by Marlene Monteiro Freitas in 2025
