Theaters Nîmes

Le Petit Subito is the literary and singing cabaret of Henry Le Ny and Doumée, directors and actors, emblematic figures of the "scene. With his relaxation, where portraits are translated, texts to be interpreted at the top time, public readings, cabaret at Kurt Weil, staggered concerts, Compagnie Subito brings a user-friendly dimension, which contributes to its reputation. Sitting around the tables as in the bistro or setting along the walls, spectators (one hundred more) take place and necessarily talk to each other. Here we cultivate the love of words, music, bloody polar or rock history. Totally atypical like the beginnings of shows announced at 19 h 23 sharp: after, we close the doors to respect the actors and the comfort of the visitors.

In a colourful and colourful area, beyond Boulevard Gambetta, the Periscope programme all year round of eclectic performances and conducts cultural actions under the Nîmes Urban Agreement for Social Cohesion (ACSE). In this small space, we like to bring people and artists closer together, while stirring up the genres: theatre, of course, but also plastic arts, video, dance, current music. Place of residence and creation-workshops, Le Periscope welcomes small regional companies and offers personal projects, private workshops and other "one artist show" astonishing. At the end of the school year, the return of workshops is a time expected by all members. The artistic orientations of the Periscope and the place left to conviviality have succeeded in imposing this small room on a loyal audience.

Set of words and refocus on the world of childhood for this neighborhood theatre, which changed in 2010 (the Mobile Kid). In the programme, various forms of live shows, comedies, tales, poems, songs, improvisation, work of the clown, music, that you enjoy with children. The troupe of Rémy Leboucq, also actor and director of the theatre, has occupied space since 2004. A bar and an exhibition room provide a friendly atmosphere and a certain closeness to the public. Adult and child theatre, theatre practice workshops for beginners or confirmed, for training and initiation projects in theatre, for insertion. This theatre theatre works well in its Richelieu neighbourhood.

Even a near the railway line, Théâtre Théâtre 7 has been able to assert its place of residence with relevance. Michel Boy, director, artistic director and actor is a fervent word of oral language, each time reinvented. The actor is often alone on stage to literally "inhabit" authors, classical or contemporary, fables and texts popular, passionate or funny. Because, of course, the House of Theatre and Poetry cultivates the right word, humor and childhood spirit. Courses and courses in evening workshops are offered (be in stage - personalized approach - technical - improvisations), for every audience starting 16 years with, each quarter, presentation of work (240 €/quarter).

The Municipal Theatre, in the heart of Escutcheon, is the right lung of culture in Nîmes. A beautiful showcase of the city's cultural policy, programming, both popular and classical, contemporary and musical, gives a fair place to the different repertoires (opera, opera, jazz, theatre, international choreography…). Completely remodelled building, restored façade, before and after show service, in a large chic bistro on the first floor, so many arguments that have attracted the new public, eager for contemporary creations. Each year, the flamenco festival or the Jazz City festival are scheduled appointments which cast into aftershows throughout the city. Note, however, that in 2011, the most avant-garde share of the programming, the Japanese Experience, was cancelled due to artistic disagreements with the musical label Sound, a partner of the biennale. Should you see a back on the side of the artistic leadership of the theatre? Follow!

The Association for a Popular Theatre, which enters its 46 ^th season in Nîmes, develops a dynamic and dynamic activity for the benefit of loyal spectators. The major scenes of the city (the Odéon, the Municipal Theatre or Christian Ligier) welcome a year-round, dense and demanding progammation. From September to April, the ATP proposes about shows per season: classic or contemporary authors'pieces, reading of poetic texts, philosophy, musicals, choreography, theatre of images… The association benefits from the volunteer audience of members who have committed themselves to this popular theatre. The programme paper The Projector is sent to more than 2 500 spectators (5 to 6 numbers per year).

A small subsidised theatre behind the Carré d'Art which programs the creation of professional and amateur troops, readings of contes tales, modern clowns. On the weekend, musical evenings show authors, composers and cabaret artists, but the particularity of Télémac is its awareness of theatrical play. Thus, speakers animate workshops for children, adolescents, adults and offer various modules of playful excercices, to assert themselves thanks to oral and body expression. Groups made up of a dozen participants will thus discover the foundations of the profession of actor: work on voice, improvisation, space, body and learning text… An educational dimension in the form of internships or collective courses that make theatre year round.

Well integrated in the popular Richelieu quarter, the Théâtre de l'Odéon lives its cultural life all year round. A nice entrance, welcoming with its bar and red velvet, a modular room where various scenes are played: theatre for all, annual festivals (flamenco, scholarship for young talent talents, etc.) music concerts today, often rock. At the same time, we would tend to forget that this municipal theatre also has the vocation of living the popular theatre, that its programming follows the choices of ATP. You can hear some of the literature from the literature, discover contemporary pieces or lyrics, laugh at one-man-show or come to the family to attend children's shows.

As often in Nîmes, due to a multi-functional room, this theatre, opened in 2007, programme as many concerts as theatrical performances. With its 280-seat gauge + 6 places for people with reduced mobility, the room is known with eclectic shows where you feel a preference for dance, classical music, jazz and world music. Conferences and conferences are held on various topics of knowledge, topical debates, social and professional social activities. The Nîmoises companies are welcome and the students at the City conservatory are there. By the way, who was Christian Liger? Writer Nîmois, author of several books of history on Nîmes (Nimes sans Visa, in particular), this former assistant to the culture of Jean Bousquet was a local scholar. A man of enlightened commitment to his city, Christian Liger died in 2002.
