Reflection and new beginning of “Invited Korean Language” at Festival D’Avignon

Drawing on the experience of presenting Korean-language works and the participation of Korean artists at the 2026 Festival d’Avignon, this roundtable reflects on the process and significance of the invitation. From the differing perspectives of artists and festival representatives, it explores how the Korean language and Korean performing arts were introduced and received on the international festival stage, while sharing the challenges and possibilities encountered throughout the collaboration and participation process.

Rather than simply reflecting on the achievements of the invitation, this roundtable seeks to identify the next steps toward the continued expansion of international circulation and exchange for Korean performing arts, building on the experiences and insights gained through the process.
