Free like fireflies in the meadow of their dreams. Could we wish them a better flight? Pierre, Liona, Mathilde, Martin and all their comrades who should be mentioned – and this is what we do in the credits* below – unfold a winged, stamped and beautiful story of the Avignon Festival – which begins this Saturday – guided by French director Fanny de Chaillé. They leave La Manufacture – High School of Performing Arts – with a diploma, driven above all by a thirst for commitment and an impatience which is the privilege of their spring.

D’Avignon, a schoolthey will remember it all their lives. Not only because this show will be performed between July 10 and 12 at the Cloître des Célestins, under two lordly plane trees that a head-cutting mistral wind disrupts on certain evenings, in a courtyard that is one of the highlights of the in festival – directed since 2023 by the author and director Tiago Rodrigues. Or because this presence brings an anniversary year to a beautiful close, which is the 20th anniversary of La Manufacture.
