FARaway - Festival des Arts à Reims

Reims offers the world in shows

Born in 2020 from the collective will of seven Reims cultural institutions, FARaway - Festival des Arts à Reims is an international multidisciplinary festival that transforms the city into a vast playground for artistic discoveries. La Cartonnerie, Césaré, La Comédie, FRAC Champagne-Ardenne, Le Manège, Nova Villa, and Opéra de Reims join forces to offer an ambitious program open to the world.

An invited country each year

FARaway's unique feature is its invited country concept: each edition highlights the artistic scene of a country or region of the world. The 2025 edition explored the scenes of Northern Europe, from the Baltic countries to the British Isles and the Nordic countries. The 2026 edition, the festival's 7th, will be dedicated to Argentina, with a captivating program showcasing the richness and diversity of Argentine artistic creation.

More than ten stages throughout the city

The festival unfolds across more than ten stages spread throughout the city of Reims and its surroundings: La Comédie, Opéra de Reims, Le Manège, La Cartonnerie, Césaré, Nova Villa, FRAC Champagne-Ardenne, and Saint-Ex. This festival geography allows for around thirty shows in various settings, from intimate theater to large halls, as well as exhibition spaces and alternative venues.

An accessible and committed festival

FARaway is committed to cultural accessibility with attractive prices, notably the 3-show Pass for €30 (€15 for students and job seekers), making each show €10. The festival also offers meetings with artists, workshops, and free events, fostering dialogue between creators and the Reims public.
