TJP Centre dramatique national de Strasbourg, National dramatic center in Strasbourg, France.
TJP Centre dramatique national is a national theater in Strasbourg operating across two separate locations: the Little Stage in the Petite France district and the Grand Stage in the Krutenau neighborhood. The venue focuses on innovative productions and artistic diversity for multiple age groups.
The theater was founded in 1974 by actor and director André Pomarat and received national center status in 1990. This official recognition marked a key turning point in its development as a leading cultural institution.
The theater presents performances for audiences of all ages, ranging from puppetry and object theater to circus arts and dance. Visitors experience a mix of traditional and innovative performance styles across its two venues.
The ticket office at the Little Stage is open Tuesday through Friday, offering reservations and information about upcoming productions. Visitors should check the schedule in advance as performance times vary depending on the production schedule.
Since January 2023, Japanese dancer and choreographer Kaori Ito has led the artistic direction of the theater. She brings fresh perspectives to youth theater and experimental performance formats.
