Critics from major French newspapers lived up to their name recently when called upon to review this year's Avignon Festival, a major venue for the performing arts.
Reviewers from both the left and the right panned what they deemed were the Festival's pretentious and nihilistic performances.
For details, see: Article from The Australian.
It's rare that critics are unanimous about anything, but from what was written, it seems that the state of art has reached a crossroads at the Festival, which in recent years has also experienced labor troubles.
Despite all that, the Festival's organizers seem unfazed.
Perhaps they are well aware of the phrase, "Life is short. Art is long."
