На одному з найстаріших театральних фестивалів – The Festival d’Avignon – Український інститут та La Manufacture вдруге представлять широку українську програму – Pavilion of the Future, Ukraine 2024 : With Beating Hearts.
Programme

«Мета нашої програми – дати можливість українським сучасним митцям зміцнювати суб’єктність України, мати свої голоси на найбільшому театральному форумі світу. Протягом наступних років ми прагнемо потрапити в основну програму фестивалю, а поки працюємо над сталою присутністю в альтернативній – Festival Off Avignon.
