From the Stage to the Data

Clarisse Bardiot, researcher at University of Rennes 2, specialises in theatre history and digital methods. She works with archival collections and computational analysis to map performance histories.

This lecture examines how Avignon Festival archives—programs, photographs and recordings—can be interrogated computationally to document over 2,000 performances from 1947 to today. It explores methods, challenges in metadata, and how digital tools reveal patterns in repertoire, networks and theatrical heritage.
