Théâtre de l'Aquarium, Theatre in Bois de Vincennes, Paris, France.
The Théâtre de l'Aquarium is a theatre building containing two separate performance halls of different capacities. These spaces together accommodate around 500 spectators and allow for varied programming and audience experiences.
The theatre was founded in 1965 by students from the École Normale Supérieure and relocated to La Cartoucherie in 1972. This move was supported by local artists who helped establish the venue as a creative hub.
The theatre showcases experimental work and provides space for emerging artists to develop through workshops and creative projects. Visitors encounter performances that push boundaries and explore unconventional artistic directions rather than follow mainstream trends.
The theatre is located in the 12th arrondissement and is easily accessible by public transport. Current event schedules and workshop registration information are best found on the website or by visiting in person.
The theatre operates from a converted munitions factory within the La Cartoucherie complex. This transformation of industrial space into an arts venue demonstrates how an old production site gained a new cultural purpose.
