Théâtre de la Bastille

The Théâtre de la Bastille is a theatre building housed in a renovated former carpentry workshop in eastern Paris. It features modern facilities with adaptable stage configurations that support different performance types and artistic experiments.

The transformation from carpentry workshop to theatre occurred in 1985 when Andréas Voutzinas founded it as 'théâtre des cinquante' for young actors. This founding established a lasting artistic institution in the Marais district.

The theatre presents contemporary plays, dance performances, and experimental works that attract both established and emerging artists. Visitors experience a lively artistic scene where French and international creators showcase their work.

The building is easily accessible by public transport and sits in a lively neighbourhood with many cafes and restaurants nearby. The box office is open on weekdays and provides clear information about current programming.

The venue maintains a small bookstore at its reception area featuring literature connected to current season performances and their creators. This collection rotates regularly, giving visitors deeper insights into the work being presented.
