Théâtre National de Bretagne, National drama center in Rennes, France
The Théâtre National de Bretagne is a performance venue in Rennes with three stages and two cinema halls, where the main Jean Vilar hall seats about 900 spectators. The building provides modern facilities designed to accommodate various artistic formats and company sizes.
The venue was established in 1990 through a merger of two earlier institutions with roots going back to an acting company founded in the 1940s. Its current form took shape following major renovations completed in the 2000s.
The theater serves as a hub for regional artists and regularly features works by choreographers, musicians, and experimental groups. This diversity makes it an important venue for contemporary creators from Brittany and beyond.
The building is centrally located on Rue Saint-Hélier and is well served by public transport. Nearby metro and bus stops make it easy to visit without a car.
The restaurant area inside carries the poetic name 'the Intermission' and offers a quiet space to linger between events. This space invites visitors to experience the theater as more than just a performance venue.
