Abstract

The management of the coronavirus crisis of 2020 required immediate and top-down decisions, which contradicts the bottom-up philosophy of the non-curated Festival OFF d’Avignon. As a consequence, the loose organizational structure risked breaking apart and every theatre director acted autonomously by either cancelling the scheduled programme, creating online alternatives, or organising independent micro-festivals. The events of 2020 demonstrate that the non-curated festival is composed of multiple independent theatres following their own artistic orientation and business model. The OFF d’Avignon is, in fact, a festival of festivals.

摘要

2020 年冠状病毒危机的管理需要立即和自上而下的决策，这与非策划的 Festival OFF d'Avignon 自下而上的理念相矛盾。因此，松散的组织结构有瓦解的风险，每位剧院导演都通过取消预定节目、创建在线替代方案或组织独立的微型节日来自主行动。2020年的事件表明，非策划的节日是由多个独立的剧院按照自己的艺术取向和商业模式组成的。事实上，OFF d'Avignon 是一个节日中的节日。
