Théâtre Auditorium de Poitiers, Modern performance venue in center of Poitiers, France.
The Theatre Auditorium of Poitiers is a modern performance complex with two main halls of different sizes, one seating around 1,000 people and the other around 720. The building includes rehearsal rooms, dressing areas, and several foyers that serve both performers and audiences.
The TAP opened in September 2008, designed by the Portuguese architect João Luís Carrilho da Graça. It replaced the city's former theatre on the place du Maréchal-Leclerc, a building dating from 1954. The new venue carries the Scène nationale label.
The venue serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors experience theater, dance, and music performances together throughout the year. Its multiple halls host diverse art forms, from classical drama to contemporary performances, making it central to the city's artistic life.
The TAP stands in central Poitiers, near the tramway and bus stops, so it can be reached without a car. The building holds two halls of different sizes; check which one your performance is in, as entrances and foyers differ. Arrive early enough to find the right door and settle in.
