Ambiguous Space: A Review of the Chinese Play “L’histoire d’un Accident” at Avignon 2025

Feng Lu’s “L’histoire d’un Accident”, presented in Avignon 2025, offers a layered exploration of theatrical space inspired by Henri Lefebvre’s theory of spatial production. The play unfolds through a play-within-a-play structure, blending backstage conflict, parody, and audience disruption to challenge the boundary between fiction and reality. A planted “spectator” blurs the line between performance and life, turning spatial ambiguity into a central aesthetic strategy. Rather than seeking clarity, the production invites audiences to dwell in uncertainty, where ambiguity becomes an essential part of how space is experienced, performed, and emotionally understood.

New York City Fringe Begins April 1

It is ridiculous to think that it's not enough to curate a Festival.  I would stack up our good to bad ratio against any network season, any Hollywood studio, any program season.  It's impossible to look at a script six months out and know what you're going to have on stage.  It's just not possible.  I’ve helped curate too many Festivals to know that what we read has nothing to do with what ends up on stage, so this method is has been tested since 2007, and we have some amazing shows come through here.
