Villa Albertine and Albertine Foundation are pleased to announce the laureates of the 2025 Theatre & New Forms grants, which support theater, circus, puppetry, street theater, and hybrid forms.

This initiative aims to foster artistic exchanges in the contemporary field between France and the United States, by supporting tours and collaborative projects.

Discover the diverse projects we are thrilled to support this year! We believe in nurturing performance in all its forms, from large-scale theatrical spectacle, powerful duo or solo piece, immersive participatory experience to indoor and outdoor circus. 

Theatre & New Forms is funded by the Institut français, the French Ministry of Culture, and private donors.

In partnership with

Ministry of Culture

The French Ministry of Culture aims to make the major works of humanity— and especially those of France— accessible to the largest number of people possible. As such, it maintains a policy of conservation, of protection, and of development of all components of French cultural heritage. It promotes the creation of works of art and of the mind, and the development of art practices and education. It further contributes to cultural initiatives outside of France, and to initiatives relating to the establishment of French cultural programs throughout the world.
