Théâtre de Poche-Montparnasse, Small theatre in Montparnasse, Paris, France.
The Théâtre de Poche-Montparnasse is a small theatre building in Paris with two auditoriums that together hold a maximum of 100 spectators. The confined space is designed intentionally to create an intense theatrical experience with viewers sitting close to the stage.
This theatre was founded in 1943 when Paris was under German occupation, starting with just 60 seats. By 1949, it had become a center for intellectual discussions and artistic experimentation.
The venue's name reflects its location and intimate size, with Poche meaning pocket in French, referring to the compact space nestled in the Montparnasse neighborhood. Spectators sit close to the stage in a cozy setting that creates a direct connection between performers and audience.
The theatre is located on a busy boulevard with good access by public transport. Visitors should book in advance since the small capacity fills quickly, and plan arrival time accordingly.
From 1958 to 2011, two partners, Renée Delmas and Étienne Bierry, ran the theatre together and shaped its character significantly. This long partnership allowed the venue to maintain a distinctive artistic direction.
