Le Moulin du Roc, National performance venue and cinema in Niort, France.
Le Moulin du Roc is a performance and cinema venue in Niort with two main halls designed for different types of shows. The Grand Theatre seats approximately 825 people, while the Philippe Avron Hall hosts smaller productions with about 260 seats.
The center was established as an important venue for performing arts and cinema and grew into the primary cultural hub of the Deux-Sèvres department. Its development shows how a local institution built regional cultural importance over time.
The venue draws artists who present performances ranging from theater to contemporary dance and circus acts. Visitors experience a rotating program of events throughout the year that shapes the cultural life of the region.
The venue is open on most weekdays with accessible afternoon and early evening hours for visitors. Two cinema screens show independent and art house films, making it easy to combine a show with a film screening.
Within the complex sits Fort Foucault, a dedicated rehearsal space where artists develop and test new performances and creative projects. This backstage space plays a key role in the artistic work that happens before shows reach the main stages.
