French director Pascal Rambert's new play Structure, performed in the open-air courtyard in Avignon's Palais des Papes, was greeted with muted appreciation. It tells the tragic story of an Austrian family 100 years ago. "It's seldom we have a living writer in the Cour d'Honneur for the Festival opening. It's a risk, I knew that he would write a powerful play for the courtyard. And that's what he did," said Olivier Py, the Avignon Festival's artistic director.
