Théâtre de l'Œuvre, Theater building in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, France
The Théâtre de l'Œuvre occupies a historic structure at 55 rue de Clichy, featuring an auditorium that accommodates 326 spectators across multiple seating levels.
Founded in 1893 by actor-director Aurélien Lugné-Poe, the theater presented the first French productions of numerous European playwrights, including Henrik Ibsen and August Strindberg.
The venue introduced Symbolist movement performances to French audiences, starting with Maurice Maeterlinck's Pelléas et Mélisande as its inaugural production in May 1893.
Located near the Liège metro station, the theater maintains regular evening performances throughout the year and offers advance ticket reservations for all productions.
The theater's original staging techniques employed minimal props and stylized acting methods, establishing new standards for theatrical presentations in late 19th century Paris.
