After 5 editions bringing together more than 1,000 participants, SVSN has now established itself as a key moment for exchange and networking and a genuine journey of inspiration and understanding of the creative possibilities offered by immersive and interactive devices.

SVSN2026

The Event

For five years, Performing Arts, Digital Stages (SVSN) has established itself as a pioneering gathering at the heart of the Festival d’Avignon, at the intersection of performing arts and immersive technologies.

Closely linked to societal changes, digital practices are profoundly transforming stage creation: motion capture, digital doubles, real-time interactions, XR, artificial intelligence… These innovations question and redefine the relationship between artists, works, and audiences.

SVSN supports these developments by providing national and international visibility to emerging projects and creating a space for reflection and cultural awareness for performing arts professionals.

SVSN is an event conceived and organized by Dark Euphoria with Le Grenier à Sel, la Villa Créative, Avignon Université, as part of the Festival d’Avignon.

The Team

The Spectacle Vivant, Scènes Numériques meetings are conceived and organized by Dark Euphoria with Le Grenier à Sel, La Villa Créative, and Avignon Université as part of the Festival d’Avignon.

Organization

Dark Euphoria

Dark Euphoria is an artistic production and cultural innovation agency based in Marseille. We prototype and produce transdisciplinary projects at the intersection of art and digital technologies: interactive installations, immersive experiences, augmented performances…

Through national and European programs (France 2030, Creative Europe), we explore new artistic languages and technological devices, shared among artists, cultural venues, and creative technologists. Pioneers in production combining XR and live performance, we are particularly committed to supporting artists and creative teams who also wish to reinvent theatrical, musical, and choreographic forms and their relationships with audiences.

Le Grenier à Sel

Conceived as a space for cultural hybridization and effervescence, Le Grenier à Sel explores and presents new creative territories, those based on the strong permeability between art, science, and technology. At the intersection of visual arts, Le Grenier à Sel encourages new modes of collaboration between artists, researchers, and economic actors, enabling the production of original works that illuminate our understanding of the current world and its transformations.
