With France Culture

Every summer, France Culture takes over the courtyard of the Musée Calvet for a week of readings, poetry, philosophy, and creative works. In harmony with the Avignon Festival’s program, its history, and the highlights of this year’s edition, France Culture is focusing this year on the big questions that literature poses to us. As is the case every year, iconic works will be performed by actors and actresses, alongside authors, musicians, and artists invited for the occasion.

Presentation

To open this week under the sign of questions, what better way than to ask them—and attempt to answer them? Actors from the Jeune Théâtre National will interview Tiago Rodrigues using a range of questions drawn from Max Frisch’s Journal.
