LA VIRGULE

The Comma is a unique place for its operation and vocation. The Comma is a cross-border centre for theatre creation born from the association of the company Jean-Marc Chotteau in Tourcoing and the Cultural Centre of Moeskroen. By joining together, the two structures enrich each other through the confrontation of their approaches and practices in theatre. This unique structure results in eclectic and sharp programming. Because the Comma wants "a demanding artistically popular theatre". The programming thus substitutes for contemporary pieces, transpositions of great classics, original creations and events during which the citizens have the floor. In seeking to democratize access to live performance, the Comma carries out numerous awareness-raising activities with schools, businesses and social centres, because theatre must be open to all. The Comma is also a place of creation that hosts many French, Belgian and European artists. Finally, the Comma is also places. Italian theatre, th century building, contemporary building… the structures welcoming the public all have a unique identity and invite to spend a unique moment.
