Théâtre de la Main d'Or

The Théâtre de la Main d'Or is a small performance venue in Paris's 11th arrondissement located inside a passage off the beaten path. The interior hall accommodates approximately 250 people and hosts theatrical productions and other cultural events.

The venue was established in the late 1980s and passed through different leadership phases while maintaining its role as an independent arts space. Over time it developed a reputation for supporting non-mainstream cultural work.

The theater sits tucked inside a passage and draws audiences looking for smaller productions away from larger venues. It has become a gathering place for experimental and contemporary performances.

The venue is accessible by Metro Line 8 at Ledru-Rollin station, followed by a short walk through the neighborhood to find the passage entrance. Since the location is tucked away, it helps to arrive with time to spare for navigation.

The theater gained attention for a comedic performance that ran for over a year, teaching audiences how to quickly adopt Parisian mannerisms and style. This extended run made the production locally well-known during that period.
