The 2026 Fort Antoine Festival
This year's programme of the Fort Antoine Festival promises a wealth of discovery and emotion. True to its identity, the theatre remains at the heart of an ever-exceptional setting. The 2026 edition will celebrate the bridges between art forms — theatre, musical reading, literature — for beautiful artistic moments.
The festival will open with Dissonances Jeanne d'Arc. Born of improvisations, this creation blurs the boundaries between reality and fiction, between character and performer, to surprise and awaken curiosity.
A great name in literature will then be revisited with delicacy through the sunny voice of Vincent Fernandel. Accompanied on piano, he breathes new life into the words of Marcel Pagnol in an intimate and luminous dialogue.
With 8 Soirs par semaine, musical reading takes on a tone both melancholic and amusing, carried by Vincent Dedienne, Camille Chamoux and Léopoldine HH.
On the musical side, concerts will open multiple horizons, between journey and introspection. Thibault Cauvin, guitar virtuoso, 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.
An iconic figure since the 1980s, Stephan Eicher continues to innovate alongside his long-time collaborator, drummer Osomo. Together, they experiment from the past and will take you towards the future, not without nostalgia. The festival will close with the lightness and talent of the sublime quartet A Bocca Chiusa and their Sans cible — a condensed expression of happiness 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.
It is with great enthusiasm that I invite you to take part in the journey that this new edition of the festival holds in store for us. May each performance, each note, each word transport and inspire you.
I wish you a wonderful artistic adventure.
