A dark and provocative Avignon Festival. Olympic Games oblige, the event will begin earlier, on June 29.
Tiago Rodrigues favors an international program with the Castilian Angélica Liddell opening. Entitled Damon, El funeral de Bergman, his show will be presented in Spanish and Swedish, subtitled in French and English and preceded by this warning: “Scenes from this show may offend the public's sensitivity.” The role of the festival is to disturb and defend freedom of expression that the internal and external world threatens and calls into question.
