La Manufacture

Since 2001, La Manufacture has been the main venue for the Festival Off Avignon, showcasing
contemporary art: performance, music, film, visual art and hybrid works. Every year in July, it welcomes
35,000 spectators, including 15,000 professionals representing about 2,500 producers from France (70%),
the European Union and the world (30%). It presents 30 shows a day for 21 days, more than 600 events
including art exhibitions and film screenings. It operates in three main venues, one in the city center, (with
selling tickets), and two ones on the outskirts, including the Ice Rink, the largest stage of the Avignon Off
festival (25 meters wide, 15 meters deep). Since 2022, La Manufacture has implemented the concept of a
pavilion to introduce French and international producers to different aspects of creativity in regions or
countries: performance art, visual art, film and drama. In 2022, we invited Ukraine, in 2023 Iran (with a focus
on artists who oppose the current regime) and Norway.
