Seoul Performing Arts Festival
Han Kang's Avignon feature points to the Seoul Performing Arts Festival as part of the curatorial bridge connecting Korean performance to Festival d'Avignon in 2026. Since launching in 2001, SPAF has become one of Korea's most visible international performing arts platforms. Its role in this story matters because the Avignon moment is not isolated. It is part of a longer exchange between Korean stage culture and the wider festival circuit.

What is the Seoul Performing Arts Festival?
The Seoul Performing Arts Festival, widely known as SPAF, is one of Korea’s longest-running international performing arts festivals. Its English materials present it as a major autumn platform for theatre, dance, and multidisciplinary work staged across Seoul and nearby cultural districts.
How is SPAF linked to Avignon 2026?
Reporting around Avignon 2026 says SPAF helped shape the Korean program traveling to France, and Yonhap also reported that Festival d'Avignon will make an Asian debut in South Korea through SPAF later in the year. That creates a genuine two-way exchange structure.
Why does SPAF matter for Korean artists?
SPAF matters because it gives Korean artists both domestic prestige and international visibility. It operates as a meeting point where Korean work can be framed for global audiences, curators, and festival networks without losing its local artistic grounding.
