Emotions, sharing, direct communication –whether it’s dance, theater, or circus, live performance is a unique experience. Since financing has always been an issue, what will happen to the performing arts in an “all-digital” world? Several of Fondation de France’s donor-advised funds have mobilized to preserve and encourage these disciplines.

Such as the Fondation Cléo Thiberge-Edrom, which supports dance projects, or foundations that support the works of great authors, like the Fondation Jean et Jean-Pierre Giraudoux. The Fondation pour La Comédie-Française funds both new productions and foreign tours, as well as educational projects and conservation work for the written and architectural heritage of the “house of Molière.” The Fondation Scène et Cité takes yet another approach, supporting new works and developing theater spaces to create links between social and cultural issues.
