As the dramatic arts fill the streets of Avignon, Arts 24 relocates to the southern city for a special edition. Olivia Salazar-Winspear takes us through the highlights of the annual event, which artistic director Tiago Rodrigues has called the festival of “resistance”. With Spanish as the selected language this year, artists from Peru, Chile, Spain and Uruguay are staging their work in historical sites, cultural venues and all sorts of outdoor spaces in Avignon.
