The 70th Avignon Festival begins tonight with The Damned in the main courtyard. But by noon, the public was the appointment of the first episode in the history of the festival by Thomas Jolly and Piccola Familia, his company.
Avignon never starts on time. But still a little before: the festival is a big ship that takes several maneuvers to start in the sea
The open sea, it will be tonight. Trumpets will sound Maurice Jarre shortly before 10 p.m. ET one will discover the Damned in a staging of Ivo van Hove who runs the excellent company of the Comedie-French. Two hours twenty a show already given two general yesterday and before yesterday.
The rumor of the Popes is excellent and this morning at 11:00 am, at the microphone of our colleague from France-Culture , Arnaud Laporte, which animates the official press conferences, Olivier Py, festival director Éric Ruf general director of the Comedie-French and Ivo van Hove, were very serene.
Was the mistral rose in the night, everything is fine. He will chilly tonight in the courtyard. The jackets and blankets are not prohibited even if fairly drastic security measures have been implemented on order of the Ministries of Interior and Culture. Get there early enough, take its seats rather Cloister St. Louis, having no luggage, no bottles or too large sprays, etc …
Nothing that could discourage the public. Olivier Py launched the 70th edition based on more than reassuring figures. Of the 126,000 places available for three weeks, 105,000 have already been sold. This is the first day of the festival, an attendance rate of 84%. A dream!
Always run in Avignon. Just the press conference ended, it is before the magnificent facade of the livery Ceccano, the wonderful city library, the public jostled to find a place for the soap opera that offer Thomas Jolly and his company Piccola Familia. Yesterday late afternoon, we had seen Thomas Jolly and friends, repeating.
An hour later, bing, young troop leader has a bad fall and broke a foot! He was here just now, valiant, smiling, but he could not participate in this first episode. He will be operated in Paris before traveling Friday in Rennes where applicable the “oral exam” for the succession to the head of the National Theatre of Brittany, international creative center and school, François Le Pillouër. Thomas Jolly candidate Pierre-Yves Lenoir, Odéon
As the laughs the director of. Henry VI : “By dint of digging the Avignon history, I thought I Gérard Philipe who fall in the yard in 1951 “… the unforgettable Cid Vilar was not reasonable. He had played his pals wore and his whole short life he would keep the accident a slight limp …
Jolly regretted not being able to say the first words of his column, but the public has followed with passion this opening, helpful and cheerful, 1947. It was drawn largely on the amount that comes to reappear Gallimard, Emmanuelle Loyer and Antoine de Baecque. It’s clever, mischievous. Great. We’ll talk about you. And France 2 , every night at 20:40, you can find Thomas Jolly in pellets two minutes which take this great history.
The off officially begins tomorrow and will last until July 30. By late afternoon today, the traditional parade in the city will deploy windswept. See you at 17:00 Cours Jean Jaurès. The procession will deploy to the seats of the Clock and the Palace.
Yesterday, around 10 am, the comedians off arose in the streets. Armed with a shopping cart full of cardboard posters provided to the four corners of bits of string and a ladder. The young and the young were allowed to put off their posters. Within hours, walls, railings, urban equipment, everything was covered with images tide. More than 1400 shows, it takes up space. But the cruelty of meteors responded immediately and this morning many posters already littering the sidewalks, torn by a refreshing mistral
But the atmosphere is happy. Yesterday we inaugurated a beautiful exhibition at Maison Jean-Vilar: 70 models, well developed, set and stage designs of the Comédie-French, 30s to today. A demonstration of boldness, the imagination of artists who have worked and are working with the most beautiful Troupe France.
As of this afternoon held as early Maëlle Poésy and Olivier Py. Go!
