La FabricA of the Festival d'Avignon
Duration : 2h30
Observing, questioning, experimenting, analysing, inventing: artists and scientists are often driven by the same curiosity. Through their respective approaches, researchers and artists offer new perspectives on human experience; their work nourishes and deepens our understanding of the world.
Conceived as a vibrant space for dialogue and exchange, these Encounters – reimagined in both format and modes of interaction – bring together the approaches, methods and themes that run through both artistic creation and scientific research. Over two days, artists and scientists share knowledge, confront viewpoints and open up the discussion to the public.
At the heart of this edition, questioning emerges as a driving force: questioning the world, questioning the works, questioning our certainties. Evil, death, traces of the past, family and the relationships within it, and “constrained” speech: through five theatrical works, these Encounters offer an opportunity to collectively explore what haunts and connects us, by addressing the unspeakable. In the spirit of the Festival d’Avignon, these exchanges invite everyone to exercise their curiosity freely — and never stop questioning.
