The director of the Avignon Festival Olivier Py has "good hope" that the world meeting of the theater scheduled for July will continue, he assures Friday in La Provence, estimating that, "for now", the question of its cancellation "does not arise".
“For the moment, the question does not arise. Afterwards, if the confinement continues until July, the question will no longer arise ... For the moment, we are hopeful, "said the director of the theater festival, one of the most important in the world, and scheduled from 3 to July 23.
"Can we do exactly the festival we have planned? I hope, except for one episode. If the containment ends in early May, we can breathe. The risk is that in the forty shows that make up this program, there are many creations. The artists will have lost weeks of rehearsal ”, underlines Olivier Py. The director of the festival says he has so far received only one defection, from a South African production, for this 74th edition.
