Art and Essay Theatre. Programming feature: Seasons dedicated to the entirety of a classical author. Seasons dedicated to the creation of contemporary pieces around a theme of reflection. Public readings in alternance.
This place is not made to earn money but to do artistic. It is a precious place, created by theatre people for theatre people. There are no financial plans. «What I propose here is to meet for half an hour someone who is inhabited by passion, who loves the theatre and be able to say: «This project can take shape and can be mounted». Which is almost impossible today in Paris.
And the idea that this place does not close.
