The Festival's Record
Opera, music, dance, theater, visual arts...

The Paris Autumn Festival was created in 1972 by Michel Guy, Georges Pompidou's Minister of Culture. The Festival d'Automne rapidly became a crossroads for avant-garde and forward-looking artistic creation. The Festival draws large audiences and stimulates wide public interest.

The Festival's activities fall into four categories :

- To present original works not previously produced in France
- To commission new work, often in collaboration with leading French, and European institutions, and North American partners
- To provoke and present experimental work. Since the early days of the Festival, special attention has focused on the emergence of new talents
- To provide access to non-western cultures, featuring major presentations from different countries and civilisations, including Japan, China, Australia, Morocco, India, Korea, Egypt, South Africa, Iran...
