Garonne theatre

Garonne theatre, Theatre venue in Saint-Cyprien district, Toulouse, France.

The Garonne Theatre occupies a former Garonne water pumping station built between 1863 and 1867, made up of four pink-brick buildings on avenue du Château-d'Eau in the Saint-Cyprien district. It has three performance spaces: the main theatre with 255 seats, workshop no. 1 with 224 seats and workshop no. 2 with about 100 seats. The red-brick facade has a tall dark double door framed by rusticated stone pilasters, a carved stone cartouche in a pediment above, and the word "THEATRE" inscribed over the entrance.

Built between 1863 and 1867 as a pumping station for the Garonne's water, the brick complex later became a cultural venue. Michel Mathieu and Jacky Ohayon founded the Théâtre Garonne there in 1988. The site was fully renovated in 2006, and in spring 2024 Aurélien Bory took over its direction after Jacky Ohayon's retirement.

The theatre's name comes from the Garonne, the river whose water was once pumped here. Its programme focuses on contemporary creations by authors and collectives, with theatre and dance dominant and music rarer. The Flemish collective tg STAN and the company La vie brève are long-term associates of the venue.

The theatre stands at 1, avenue du Château-d'Eau in Saint-Cyprien, on the left bank of the Garonne. Its three halls differ in size: the main theatre seats 255, atelier no. 1 seats 224 and atelier no. 2 holds about a hundred. Check which hall a performance uses before booking, since capacities vary considerably.
