Theaters Réunion

The structure was rejuvenated and creolized with the arrival, in 2009, of choreographer Pascal Montrouge, who will remain at the helm of the Théâtres départementaux de La Réunion (Teat de Champ Fleuri in Saint-Denis and Teat en plein air in Saint-Gilles) until 2023. Dance, theater, circus, concerts, festivals (Totototal, 7 Soleils 7 Lunes, Total Danse)... Artists from all over the world jostle each year in a rich and varied program. Following in his predecessor's footsteps, Thierry Boyer's ambition is to make cultural events accessible to as many people as possible.

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.

As the only national drama centre outside France, it is both a theatre production and broadcasting centre, and is also involved in supporting contemporary writing. Under the direction of Luc Rosello, the programming will surprise you. It is an opportunity to discover, in a beautiful setting, the talents of the Indian Ocean, but not only, as the team also invites circus artists, musicians and DJs. Let yourself be carried away!

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.
