Three Major Festivals Born in 1947 Unite for Joint Production

In 1947, three major European festivals were founded with a shared mission: to use culture as a remedy for a war-torn world. The Festival d'Avignon, the Edinburgh International Festival, and the Holland Festival all launched that year, each seeking to rebuild society through the arts. Now, for the first time, they are co-producing a single theatrical work that will be performed sequentially at each festival. This unprecedented collaboration underscores their enduring commitment to healing and unity through cultural expression.
