Théâtre des Deux Ânes, Historical theatre in Montmartre district, Paris, France.
The Théâtre des Deux Ânes is a theatre in Paris's 18th arrondissement featuring an Art Deco facade made of iron and sheet metal decorated with neon lights along Boulevard de Clichy. Inside, the venue holds roughly 295 seats arranged for cabaret-style performances.
The building opened in 1910 under the original name La Truie qui File and was reconstructed in 1922 by architect Charles Million under new ownership. That redesign gave it the Art Deco appearance it displays today.
This venue keeps the tradition of Montmartre cabaret alive through performances that blend political satire with music commenting on French life. Audiences gather to watch shows that reflect what matters to society in the moment.
The nearest metro stations are Blanche and Place de Clichy, both within walking distance of the venue. It is wise to check ahead about what is playing, as performances often draw good crowds.
The proscenium displays neo-Provencal decorative elements and panels by artist Zig Brunner depicting donkeys throughout different artistic periods. This unusual artistic motif catches visitors by surprise when they enter the hall.
