“The exhausted against the tired”: at the Avignon Festival, Julie Deliquet adapts “Welfare”

The exhausted against the tired at the Avignon Festival Julie

The 77th Festival d’Avignon invites the poorest to the stage of the Palais des Papes. Julie Deliquet opens the Festival with an adaptation of Frederick Wiseman’s film Welfare, in which we see the homeless, unemployed and single mothers parading through an American aid center… The human being is announced at the heart of this first edition of the new director Tiago Rodrigues.
