Fort Antoine Festival 2026 Edition
“This year, the Fort Antoine Festival promises a rich program of discoveries and emotions. True to its identity, the theater remains at the heart of an exceptional setting. The 2026 edition will celebrate the connections between art forms—theater, musical readings, and literature—for truly beautiful artistic moments.
The festival will open with Dissonances Jeanne d’Arc. Born from improvisations, this creation blurs the lines between reality and fiction, between character and performer, to surprise and awaken curiosity.
A great name in literature will then be revisited with delicacy thanks to the sunny voice of Vincent Fernandel. Accompanied by piano, he breathes new life into the words of Marcel Pagnol in an intimate and luminous dialogue.
With 8 Evenings a Week, the musical reading takes on a tone that is both melancholic and humorous, brought to life by Vincent Dedienne, Camille Chamoux, and Léopoldine HH.
On the music front, the concerts will open up a multitude of horizons, ranging from travel to introspection. Guitar virtuoso Thibault Cauvin will share his encounters through a musical narrative more personal than ever. Dominique Fils-Aimé will create a suspended atmosphere, imbued with nuance and sensitivity.
A key figure since the 1980s, Stephan Eicher continues to innovate alongside his longtime collaborator, drummer Osomo. Together, they experiment with the past and will take you into the future, not without a touch of nostalgia. The festival will close with the lightness and talent of the sublime quartet A Bocca Chiusa and their performance Sans cible—a distillation of joy and generosity.
The 4th edition of the Open Stage reaffirms the Principality’s commitment to young people, offering emerging artists, eager to share their passion, a unique space for expression.”
