In Avignon

For more than 12 years, L’Occitanie fait son cirque en Avignon make news and allows to emerging and well-known companies to reveal the diversity and ingenuity of circus creation.
In l’île Piot, a big top and a gymnasium converted into an indoor venue create a true circus village offering each day 9 shows coming from Occitania, other regions or countries. A mere bridge to cross from the inner town and the site of l’Île Piot welcomes the public in a pleasant green environment, far from the crowd of the festival.
For this 13th edition, a challenge : to welcome in Villeneuve-lez-Avignon, in partnership with the festival Villeneuve en Scène, one of the largest circus tent in France, the one of CirkVOST.
