FOR MORE INFORMATION:

THE JOBASTERS

Balicchus and Romano are 2 colleagues, from completely crazy families, with sometimes alternative or even dubious upbringings, but with strong southern values and a lilting accent! Come and discover the show by the duo Les Jobastres, former students of Avignon Université.

MUSICAL READING

A story of mad love that is as poignant as it is spellbinding, a novel written like a tale, terribly topical, which sees the end of a world, as the water rises inexorably and death prowls around the lake...

INVENTING THE SLANG OF THE FUTURE

Workshop on reservation : mission-culture@univ-avignon.fr

OPEN MIC

We invite you to take the floor and read your texts, or those that inspire you, in your own way: read, sung, slammed... If you have written or would like to share texts on slang, patois, communities of practice, different forms of writing, or more generally on the national theme “Towns and Countryside”, we invite you to let us know about your participation at the following address mission-culture@univ-avignon.fr
