For this 2026 edition, the agency unveils an unmissable program, a true roster of 32 performances and 4 theatres (l'Oriflamme, Girasole, 3S and Carreterie) that are already shaping up as the summer’s marquee events.
Through bold, intelligent choices and an eclectic sensibility, Ace & Co pulls off the daring feat of marrying popular emotion with artistic rigor, establishing its flagship productions and other successes in several theaters in Avignon, the City of the Popes.

The Ace & Co experience unfolds through theatrical propositions that shake things up and captivate. The audience will thrill to a dystopia by Victor Hugo with 93 (Théâtre de l'Adresse) and a revisit of Hernani (La Luna). Minds hungry for meaning and modernity will rush to La Factory for the political thriller, Rencontre avec Snowden and the tasty satire of the War of the Emus, as well as to Girasole to savor the finely chiselled text of the Circuit ordinaire.

This exceptional journey continues with the grandeur of The Trojan War Will Not Take Place (Théâtre des Brunes), the sharp edge of Hubris (Roseau Teinturiers), and the youthful ardor of Heal The World (Chapelle des Antonins), not to mention the delicacy of Reflet de l'Âme (Les 3 Raisins), the profound humanity of Douze (Maison de la Parole), and the emotion and reflection surrounding Nos histoires (Théâtre Les Lucioles).

The The Théâtre de l'Oriflamme, for its part, will invite audiences to discover the heart-wrenching Crystal Clear (staged by Thierry Harcourt), the sharp wit of Une histoire de la musique en 70 minutes, the raw power of Mécanique d'une Famille, the deft writing of Peines Perdues, and the psychological intensity of Monstre-moi.

Because theater is also a celebration, the agency offers irresistibly witty comedies and visually striking spectacles with high impact. At Aux Corps Saints, cult humor takes center stage with Un Air de Famille and the irresistible L'Affaire Buckingham. Awe and pure performance captivate audiences at L'Espace Alya through the visual poetry of Cube and the burlesque of Astuces en cuisine. The sensory journey continues with the mind-bending L'Effet Papillon (Théâtre 3S), the unifying laughter of Bouba (La Tâche d'Encre), and the tenderness of Pourquoi je n'ai jamais été heureux en amour! (Théâtre du Roi René).
Finally, the program shines with musical and poetic universes. Audiences will be carried away by the fervor of Sabor life is rhythm and the harmony of Un jour ou l'autre at the Théâtre Notre Dame. La Scala will be enchanted by Tout le monde écrit des chansons, while Verbe Fou will thrum to the sound of Déflagration Rimbaud.
Spectators will journey into pure emotion with Plus jamais Mozart (Fabrik'Théâtre), Tristan et Iseut (Nouvelle Étincelle), Les fables de la Fontaine (AJMI - La Manutention), Felicità (Théâtre Épiscène), and the offbeat madness of Toute la mer du monde (Théâtre de l'Albatros).
With this selection, Ace & Co isn’t just taking part in the Festival — it’s helping shape its most memorable moments. A top-tier rendezvous in the world of live performance, bookable today.
