We are delighted to present the 8th edition of Sélection Suisse en Avignon. It will be under the artistic direction of Esther Welger-Barboza for the second time and take place in collaboration with five renowned partner venues.
Sélection Suisse en Avignon
Launched by Pro Helvetia and Corodis in 2016, Sélection Suisse en Avignon (SCH) is a platform dedicated to promoting contemporary Swiss theatre, dance and performance creations. Each year, it offers artists from Switzerland a unique opportunity to present their work at the heart of the Avignon festival. They also receive individualised guidance helping them to maximize the impact of their presence in Avignon and to forge contacts that can open doors to future tours on the professional theatre and festival circuit.
Festival d’Avignon OFF
Sélection Suisse en Avignon is part of the Festival d’Avignon OFF and will be presenting a curated selection of Swiss stage productions from 6 to 18 July 2024. The Festival d’Avignon is one of the world’s most important performing arts festivals, attracting large numbers of visitors each year including numerous event organisers and festival managers.
