Théâtre des Halles, Theatre venue in Avignon, France
The Théâtre des Halles occupies a former 14th-century convent complex with two performance halls, including the Chapter Hall that seats 200 spectators.
The theater structure stands on the site where Italian poet Petrarch first encountered his muse Laure de Noves in the former Sainte-Claire chapel.
Since its establishment in 1983, director Alain Timar has guided the theater through year-round productions, festivals, and international collaborations.
The main performance space features an 11-meter-wide stage with a 24-meter depth, equipped with air conditioning and wheelchair accessibility.
The secondary performance space, housed in the former chapel, maintains its original religious architecture while hosting intimate shows for 50 spectators.
