For 17 years (1947-1963), the Festival reflected the work of one man, one team, one location and thus was the embodiment of one spirit; every summer, at the Popes'Palace, a cultural [event] took place. In 1993 Bernard Faivre d'Arcier was re-appointed to the Festival with Christiane Bourbonnaud, as administrator, and with a new goal: to make Avignon a hub of European theatre. From 2004 to 2013 Festival, Hortense Archambault and Vincent Baudriller have been co-directors of the Festival. Since their appointment, they have decided to be based with the whole team in Avignon, and from there to invent each Festival together with artists. Another novelty in their project is to chose one or two associate artists to help them prepare each edition of the Festival) <http://www.festival-avignon.com/fr/> Wikipedia, viewed Mar. 22, 2018 (The Festival d'Avignon, or Avignon Festival, is an annual arts festival held in the French city of Avignon every summer in July in the courtyard of the Palais des Papes as well as in other locations of the city) |
