Le Silo, Performance venue in Marseille, France
Le Silo is a theater in the Joliette district of Marseille, housed inside a former grain storage building. The hall has seating on several levels, including a main floor and tiered balconies that give a clear view of the stage.
The building was constructed in the early 20th century as a grain silo on the port of Marseille and served for decades as a storage facility. In the 2000s it was converted into a theater, with parts of the original industrial structure kept in place.
Le Silo sits in the Joliette district, close to the old port, and draws a wide audience looking to see both local and international artists. The program ranges from concerts to dance and theater, giving the venue an open and active role in city life.
The theater is easy to reach, as it sits close to the old port and is well served by public transit. It is a good idea to plan ticket purchases in advance, since popular shows tend to sell out quickly.
The building is a rectangular structure of over 16,000 square metres, not a set of round silos: its pale flat facade rises as a tower above lower wings, with narrow vertical windows and red metal balconies stacked on the front. The orange panel reading "SILO" with "SCENE DE MARSEILLE" below marks the entrance side.
