Téat Plein Air

Téat Plein Air is an open-air theatre in Saint-Paul featuring two distinct performance spaces for different productions. The main stage accommodates roughly 1000 audience members while the secondary Badamier stage holds approximately 250 seats.

The venue opened in 1970 under the design of architect Jean Tribel and was created to serve as a cultural gathering place. The site later received official recognition as a registered historic monument.

The name refers to a tree species significant to local Creole traditions on the island. The open design creates a setting where performance and natural surroundings blend together in the daily experience of visitors.

The site is most active during spring and summer months when regular performances take place throughout the week. Getting around is straightforward since the location in Saint-Paul is accessible by local transportation options.

The theatre offers an unusual experience because performances take place under the natural starlight of Île de la Réunion's night sky. This feature makes every visit a direct interaction between performers, audience, and the tropical night environment.
