L'Aube des questions

To close the 80th edition of the Festival d’Avignon, a celebration of questions takes place at dawn in the Cour d’honneur of the palais des Papes, like a promise for the future. In a world saturated with wrong answers, marked by the frightening simplification of divisive discourse, the Festival champions the beauty of doubt, bringing together artists and audiences around the questions that art can ask the world. Invited by Aurélie Charon, Patrick Boucheron, and Tiago Rodrigues, dozens of artists, scientists, activists, philosophers, and figures from civil society share 80 questions with the audience. A gesture that blends thought, music, dance, poetry, and theatre.
