Festival d'Avignon
World Premiere
Van Hove's direction of Les Damnés (The Damned) with La Comédie-Française had its world premiere in 2016 as the opening performance of the Festival d'Avignon in the majestic setting of the Cour d'Honneur in the former Pope's castle. In this theatre adaptation of a film script by Italian cinematographer Luchino Visconti, we see a family of rich German industrialists become fatally corrupted through their collaboration with the Nazi party that has come to power. Les Damnés was received with raving superlatives and after it had finished in Paris, continued on to play in London, Antwerp, and New York. The Guardian called it an “eerily prophetic masterstroke”. The New York Times spoke of “a rich and merciless production”.
