Tribute to Edgar Morin (1921–2026)
- Tribute
Saturday 30 May 2026
The Festival d'Avignon learns with immense sadness of the passing of Edgar Morin, on 29 May 2026, at the age of 104. A Resistance fighter, sociologist, philosopher, poacher of knowledge, a century spent looking the world squarely in the face, never once turning away. A thinker of complexity, of humanity, of the fragility of civilisations, he believed deeply that culture and live performance were spaces of resistance and hope.
