Internationally renowned artists
With more than two thirds of the programme dedicated to international artists, new creations and – for the most part – premières in France, the festival ranks as one of the go-to events on the international festival scene.
A strong dynamic of local artists
To promote and support local talent, great emphasis is placed on artists from the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. The festival provides them with a platform for sharing their new creations.
A socially-engaged festival
By putting societal issues in the spotlight, the festival shows its commitment to artists who question our ever-changing modern society. Artists from the Near and Middle East were the focus of the first edition whereas the theme of borders takes centre stage for the 2017 edition.
A collaborative approach
The festival is the fruit of the collaborative labour of around forty cultural organisations and local authorities. Led by Sylvie Violan, it is co-sponsored by the independent association Festival des Arts de Bordeaux and the Carré-Colonnes theatre.
HISTORY
The Festival International des Arts de Bordeaux Métropole was established in 2016 following the merger of two existing festivals: the Novart festival established in 2002 in Bordeaux and the festival Des souris, des hommes established in 2008 in Saint-Médard.
