The company was created by the Railway Henri Dumay in the 1940 s. At the Valhubert theatre, located in Paris-Austerlitz station, it has set up many classic and contemporary pieces. What it continues to do, always linked to the world of rail via the comité d'etablissement SNCF de Paris Rive Gauche. The team moved from 2002 to 2008 in a former sports complex on the Rue du Chevaleret. As the latter was promised to destroy, acrobats returned their luggage to the Nap Theatre - 300 seats. We are not born under the sign of travel for nothing! In 2009, after a two-year renovation, Espace Flute reopened its doors. It retains its primary vocation with the presentation of quality performances.

At the beginning of the adventure there is a university theatre troupe organised in the Superior Ecole Normale since 1964 as Theatre 45. Some of them, Jacques Nichet, Jean-Louis Benoît and Didier Bezace, took the Theatre of the Aquarium and settled at La Factory in 1973. The ambition of these artists is to discover texts and new theatrical forms. In 1986, Jacques Nichet took the direction of the dramatic centre of Montpellier and, in 1998, that of the current national theatre of Toulouse. In 1997 Didier Bezace was named Head of the Commune Theatre of Aubervilliers. Jean-Louis Benoît was called to lead the theatre at La Auction in Marseille in 2002. Julie Brochen continued the history of the Aquarium theatre, which has about five hundred places, and then François Rancillac took his succession in 2009, the latter invited Antoine Caubet to be the artist associated with this place for three years.

Created in 1972, the place - one hundred and sixty-five places - was first named a Atelier workshop. As a theatre of the Chaudron two decades later, it hosts various projects, including performances from circus arts. The objective of this place of creation is to allow the public to go to meet works and artists, and to companies to have a space of reflection.
