Ceccano in the garden, while the mistral made brisser both sumptuous plane trees, the retardaires have all the trouble to get through. The benches are stormed several rows spectators standing frame the scene.
At the stroke of noon sounded in the neighboring church, festival lovers embark on the first episode of a great flashback, 70 years of history, by which we had proposed 18 hours of Henry VI it two years ago. The adventure is called “The sky at night and the glorious stone,” defined by Jean Vilar at the festival he founded en1947.

Everything is there, the epic of the creation of “the art week” by Jean Vilar who “felt good that he would not find the money to have a theater in Paris “, the delicious René Char support letters, Maurice Clavel, Jeanne Laurent, an apostle of decentralized theater. The search for young actors “to pay less and believe it more than others.”
Troupe drew the historical part in the book of Antoine de Baecque and Emmanuelle Rent, and collected articles, stories , memories of spectators. We discover that Vilar refuse to create a control panel ( “I’m too young for a resumption!”) And offer to play three shows in the Court of Honour: “Richard II” by Shakespeare, “Tobias and Sarah” to Paul Claudel, “La Terrasse noon” of Maurice Clavel
And then there are all these youngsters already exhibiting beautiful arrangements. Michel Bouquet, Jeanne Moreau, Alain Cuny, Jean Negroni, Bernard Noël, Silvia Monfort. .. all this tells us mischievously small troupe of 12 actors playing all the roles: to “make a joyful and festive rolling,” said Thomas Jolly
“a few days. the first, the goodwill must give way to the will, kindness dedication “exclaims the young actor who plays Jean Vilar, when the mistral blows harder. The following are excerpts farcical pieces originally created, which is a feat in the case of Richard II or Claudel!
Reading reviews is another great moment: “They may have found a place of artistic pilgrimage where people come from far away and often!”, or about Michel Bouquet “the theater and cinema promises a bright future!”
” it’s a soap opera, nothing is rigged, “said Jolly, bandaged foot at the end of the show. The young director broke his foot the day before on the stage, but his enthusiasm is intact. We collected all the material and created sequences in Rouen, but it’s really the day ahead that everything takes shape. The public discovers a story he knows the outline, but there are also all the economic, political … It was also to reconcile the country after the war. “

“I find very smart this bias of transposition, of humor, of the shift, that does not surprise me, it’s a type (Thomas Jolly) has so many ideas! “exclaimed Chantal, remained on the bench to digest this first episode. Pierre, her husband, is more reserved on the burlesque, but festival for 63 years, he has every intention to follow the following 15 episodes, as it did the year with derrnière ” Plato’s Republic “of Alain Badiou who held the audience spellbound.” in July we must not get me anywhere but here he smiled. “a little later, a group of young college students also appreciate, but with the criteria for their generation: “It’s good to make it alive, by playing real actors and avoiding the reading.”
in the 15 episodes to come, will be evoked big shows, opening in 1966 to dance and cinema, the festival canceled by the crisis of 2003 intermittent … spectators will also be called to testify and the last episode, titled “Avignon 2086″, the festival will screen in 70 years, with the participation of children of Avignon neighborhoods.
in addition to the daily soap opera Avignon (which will last until July 23), a “mini-chronicle” daily will be broadcast every evening on France 2 (8:50 p.m.) France 5 (10:45) and Culturebox (13h).
Thomas Jolly also relies on guests “stars” that could come tell their festival, as Stanislas Nordey, Nicolas Bouchaud or Isabelle Huppert. And why not Daniel Auteuil and Mirelle Mathieu, children of the country!
