Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord, Theatre in 10th arrondissement, Paris, France.
The Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord features 503 seats within a preserved 19th-century structure near the Gare du Nord railway station.
Architect Émile Leménil designed this theatre in 1876, which later closed in 1952 due to safety concerns before Peter Brook revived it in 1974.
The theatre maintains its original architectural elements while presenting contemporary plays, operas, and musical performances throughout the year.
The theatre stands at 37 bis, boulevard de la Chapelle, in the 10th arrondissement, served by the La Chapelle metro station. The entrance is on the ground floor, through tall dark wood doors with glass upper panels beneath a rectangular "THEATRE" sign, flanked by multi-paned windows and a black metal fence.
In its first decade the theatre went through fifteen artistic directors; one of them, Olga Léaud, fled after a failed production, taking the contents of the theatre safe with her.
