Grand National Theatre of Rabat

The Grand National Theatre of Rabat is a contemporary theatre building in the Bouregreg Valley with multiple performance spaces for different types of events. It contains a large main hall, a smaller performance venue, an outdoor space, and several creative studios for various artistic activities.

The project began in 2010 as part of Morocco's plan to develop cultural facilities across the country. Its completion represented an important step in expanding arts infrastructure in the region.

The theatre has become a central gathering place for artistic expression and national performing arts in Morocco. People come here to experience contemporary works and connect with local and international artists.

The building is well-designed with multiple areas that serve different purposes, from large productions to intimate performances and workshops. Visitors should note that the different spaces vary in size and type to match different kinds of events.

The building's design follows the natural curves of the Bouregreg River and incorporates geometric patterns that flow from ground level to the upper sections. This architectural choice creates a distinctive connection between the structure and its riverside setting.
