In late September 2026, the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region hosted several performing arts festivals. In Aix-en-Provence, the 14th edition of the ‘Jours [et nuits] de cirque(s)’ festival focused on the theme of transmission through circus arts. Meanwhile, the ‘Regards sur rue’ festival in La Seyne featured approximately 50 free performances by 17 companies.

Following these festivals, the focus shifted toward educational and workshop-based programming in France. A history of performing arts seminar was scheduled at the Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris for the 2026-2027 academic year, covering theatre, opera, dance, and circus history. Additionally, the Conservatoire du Vexin planned an intergenerational puppet workshop for late October, led by artists from the company Cie J’AI VU LOUISA.
