Those who hewed the stones of the arenas, carved the sarcophagi of the Alyscamps, designed the vaults of our churches, and conceived the figures in our cloister were great artists. So what better way to pay tribute to them than to bring the performing arts into these walls steeped in history and humanity?
The monuments that shape our daily lives—and have helped make Arles a cultural capital—will reveal themselves to us in a new light, brimming with life, music, and discovery, thanks to local and regional companies and artists. Music, dance, shadow theater, comedy, and a thousand other artistic performances will allow many artists to showcase their talents in our remarkable and inspiring heritage sites. Everyone is invited to discover this exceptional program, to experience and pay tribute to all the artists who, for over 2,000 years, have shaped our landscape and made every resident of Arles the heir to a living heritage.
