Summary
FRANCE 24's Olivia Salazar-Winspear brings us all the latest from the Avignon performing arts festival, which is celebrating its 80th anniversary. This year, Golden Globe winners, Brazilian actor Wagner Moura and French actress Isabelle Huppert are starring in shows. The festival has also chosen Korean as its language of honour and turns the spotlight on artists from the Mediterranean region. Salazar-Winspear also talks to the co-director of Avignon's fringe program. It's known as the "off" in French and features more than 1,700 shows performed in public spaces around the city. Finally, she gives us her recommendation for a fringe show that is not to be missed.
