Concert halls West

A concert at the open-air theatre in Saint-Gilles is unforgettable: extraordinary acoustics, exceptional atmosphere. What happiness, under the stars. Two stages: the first welcomes 1,000 spectators; the second is reserved for more intimate concerts. Don't forget to take a cushion because the seats are made of concrete. That's right! The theater is also listed as a historical monument for its brutalist architecture using concrete exclusively. The architects Jean Tribel and Gilbert Royer were the ones who achieved this feat between 1968 and 1970.

This open-air site hosts the very dynamic stage of the Séchoir. Contemporary music concerts, shows "outside the walls" and shows on Leu Tempo festival... A space that we really love. It can accommodate 500 standing places in "concert" configuration and 270 seats in "tiered" configuration. Its ideal location allows you to start the evening with a good restaurant, then go and listen to your favourite band and finally relax and rest your overheated toes on the sand of the lagoon. And why not a night swim.

Having served in turn as a school canteen, wedding hall and tobacco drying shed, this Piton-Saint-Leu venue now hosts live shows. Le Séchoir, Réunion's "andemik scene", is a multicultural, cross-disciplinary association (which we are particularly fond of) that organizes concerts, film screenings (some of which are open-air), conferences, dance and theater performances, and offers courses. This is also the venue for the not-to-be-missed LEU Tempo Festival d'arts vivants. All in all, a wonderful initiative.

Alain Courbis gives the Espace Leconte in Lisle a new lease of life and offers an attractive program. Cinema, dance, theatre, exhibitions, conferences, concerts... The small hall favours intimate evenings and surprising encounters. We particularly like the promiscuity of the artists (professionals or amateurs) with their public and the historical conferences on Saint-Paul. Together with the Cerise, which is their neighbour, many festivals are organised. You can have a drink there before the start of your evening or during intermissions.

The Theatre Under the Trees is an open-air theatre playing with the setting as a backdrop. It offers a program full of poetry, comedy and sometimes drama. Didier Ibao took over the artistic direction of the theatre in 2017 for our great pleasure. Before each performance and one hour after, drinks and corks are offered, which will allow you to discuss the creation you have just discovered. You will also discover that it never rains at the Port, as few performances are cancelled due to bad weather.

Labelled Scène de Musique Actuelle in 2007, the Kabardock has become an unmissable cultural venue. By succeeding in the gamble of a daring programming in a burgeoning city but often wrongly ignored by night owls and tourists, this structure also welcomes choreographers and dance companies. Finally, the variety of rooms (café/cabaret, auditorium and concert hall) allows you to discover the artists in unusual atmospheres. All the rooms of the Kabardock are accessible to people with reduced mobility.
