Théâtre de la Manufacture, National drama center in Nancy, France
The Théâtre de la Manufacture is a contemporary theater venue in Nancy located inside a former industrial building with around 400 seats. Throughout the year, it presents modern productions that engage with current themes and diverse artistic voices.
The building was originally a factory, standing as a reminder of Lorraine's industrial past. Over time it was converted into a performance space dedicated to artistic creation.
The theater takes its name from its former life as a factory building, and this industrial past shapes how performances unfold within these transformed spaces. The raw character of the venue becomes part of each show, creating an intimate connection with the audience.
The venue is easy to reach on foot and the hall's converted factory spaces offer good sightlines from almost every seat. It helps to check performance schedules in advance and how to arrive by public transportation.
The theater extends its work beyond the main stage through collaborations with schools and communities, bringing theatrical productions directly to people outside the building. This approach connects artistic creation with education across the region.
