At the Avignon Festival, theatrical edition is on stage

"I'm an old theatre crocodile but a young publisher," says actor and director Stanislas Nordey. At 58, the former director of the Théâtre national de Strasbourg (TNS) just took over, at the beginning of July, the management of Editions Espaces 34, a small independent house specializing in theatre, led since 1992 by its founder, Sabine Chevallier, who passed the torch to him. "The house was in danger of disappearing. All my friends told me: "It's the last thing to do"..." , says the director. He's going for it anyway, knowing that "we won't make any money, but the challenge is not to lose any." He will be a volunteer, just like the financial director, and has hired a proofreader who is also responsible for production.

Stanislas Nordey immersed himself in reading the collection, "amazed to find no fault in taste among the 230 titles in the catalog." He plans to launch two new collections: "Les introuvables" - which he will inaugurate in January 2026 with the project of adapting Aeschylus' Oresteia by Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922-1975) and a text by Didier-Georges Gabily (1955-1996) - as well as another collection on the theater, launched with the creative notebooks of Jean-Pierre Vincent (1942-2020).
