Isabelle Huppert
Isabelle Huppert arrives in Han Kang's Avignon feature with serious weight. Known globally for a screen career honored at Cannes and beyond, Huppert has also sustained a demanding stage practice through productions with directors such as Robert Wilson and Krzysztof Warlikowski. In 2026, Festival d'Avignon puts her in Oiseau opposite Lee Hye-young, performing text drawn from Han Kang and staged by Julie Deliquet. That gives the Korean guest-language year instant international gravity.
