Theaters Paris 5th 75005

The director in stage Georges Vitaly initiated the creation of this open room in 1948. It is located in the old Paris of the Latin Quarter. The address was in the Caucasus, an Armenian restaurant hosted by Charles Aznavour's parents. Vitaly's goal is to have a place where to create new authors'performances such as Jacques Audiberti, Guillaume Hanoteau… Young actors made their first teeth there: Jacqueline Maillan, Claude Gensac, Pierre Mondy, François Chaumette, Jacques Fabbri, Michel Roux, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Zillah Chelton… Party to head the theatre of La Bruyère in 1952, Vitaly gave the direction of the room to Marcel Pinard that allows Ionesco to see her works mounted. Since February 16, 1957, the Bald Singer and the Learning of this Ionesco are played here. This is a record of global longevity! However, everything had gone wrong for these parts. The first was raised by Nicolas Battle aux Night in 1950, the second by Marcel Cuvelier in the Pocket Theatre the following year. Both have experienced a great deal of failures before they return to La. In 2007, the fiftieth anniversary of the event was celebrated. This says, in this small room of seats, the creation in the second part of the evening during which a recent piece is given, this time as in any theater! It should be noted that the theatre of La Death has been under the control of its actors since the 1960 s.

It is a place of the off-piste show that this small and warm theatre of fifty squares opened in 1960 instead of a grocery store and wine cellar - the effigy of the God Bacchus is always visible at the entrance. Here you can discover Jacques Higelin, Brigitte Fontaine and Rufus in Mommy I fear in 1964, for example. And so many others, such as the great Humoriste Humoriste or Ben Zimet Yiddish Bard… The founder, Maurice Alezra, entrusts his Room to the Theatre Company in Bretelles in 2000. It offers a programme consisting of concerts - jazz, Latin, Jewish and Oriental music, French song… -, theatre, storytelling, young public shows…
