Cinéma-théâtre le Varia, Protected heritage theater in Jumet, Belgium.

The Cinéma-théâtre Varia features Art Nouveau architectural elements with large balconies, a main hall, and reinforced concrete construction methods.

Built between 1910 and 1913 by architect Eugène Claes, this entertainment venue operated continuously until its closure in 1989, serving multiple functions.

The theater hosted performances by Jacques Brel and Bourvil, while also featuring classical ballet, dance events, and cinema screenings throughout its operation.

The Walloon Heritage Institute purchased the building in 2000 for 200,000 euros and invested 315,000 euros in structural repairs and roof maintenance.

The theater contained 1,500 seats in its primary hall, making it one of the largest entertainment venues in the Charleroi region during the early 20th century.
