Théâtre municipal de Poitiers

Théâtre municipal de Poitiers, Municipal theater in central Poitiers, France.

Théâtre municipal de Poitiers is a theater building in central Poitiers that blends Streamline Moderne and Neoclassical architectural styles. Its white limestone facade is supported by a reinforced concrete structure, with seating arranged across two levels throughout the interior.

Architect Édouard Lardillier designed the building in the 1950s, with its official opening ceremony taking place in 1954. The project represented a modern approach to theater design during the postwar reconstruction period.

The building was labelled a Scène nationale until 2008, when the Théâtre Auditorium de Poitiers (TAP) took over that role in the rue de la Marne. From then until December 2012 it ran as the TAP cinéma, an art-house cinema, before that activity moved across the place du Maréchal-Leclerc to the Castille building. The hall's engraved glass wall by Robert Pansart is being restored for reinstatement after the works.

The building stands on Place du Maréchal-Leclerc, its rounded corner facing the square, with a short flight of steps up to green-framed double doors. It has been closed since December 2012, so it cannot be visited inside; the facade and the red script lettering above the entrance are seen from the paved area outside. The engraved glass wall by Robert Pansart is being restored for reinstatement in the hall once the conversion works end.

The engraved glass mirror by Robert Pansart, made in his workshop, was kept when the hall, foyer and stage were demolished from February 2020; it is being restored for reinstatement in the hall once the conversion into shops, housing and an exhibition room is finished.
