With cutting-edge restoration labs, sustainable design that cuts energy use by 60 percent and panoramic views of the ancient pyramids, this is more than a museum — it's Egypt 's bold statement to the world, bridging 7,000 years of history with modern ambition. Watch Eve uncover the stories behind colossal statues, revolutionary architecture and the experts bringing the past back to life.

Avignon Festival 2025: Arabic voices take the stage as theatre confronts Pelicot case
In a year marked by bold cultural statements, politics also take centre stage, with Swiss director Milo Rau's haunting tribute to Gisèle Pelicot, the survivor at the heart of a shocking mass rape trial that shook France. Through readings and raw testimony, the festival engages deeply with questions of justice, trauma and resistance. We also dive into the vibrant energy of the Avignon OFF, the independent fringe festival that's now bigger than the official programme, where over a thousand theatre companies push boundaries, break conventions and reach new audiences on their own terms. From street performances to stories that challenge social norms, Avignon 2025 is a theatre festival in full transformation and arts24 is there to take you behind the scenes. The Avignon Festival runs until July 26, and Olivia Salazar-Winspear is recording a special programme for arts24 that you'll be able to watch next week.
