Theaters Pau

It was not until 1854 that the idea of creating a theater in Pau was first mooted. Closed in 1978 for safety reasons, it was reopened 11 years later by André Labarrère, who gave it a serious facelift, including the superb ceiling by^Mme Lacay-Burato. After a few twists and turns and some final renovations, it reopened its doors in 2016, and this little Italian-style theater is now the prestigious backdrop for Palais's cultural scene. It's true that its 430 seats make it an intimate setting where artists and audiences establish a real closeness, conducive to the emotions that are inevitably at the rendezvous. What a beautiful, lively and magical venue!

Espaces Pluriels is a unique creative center, offering dance and theater programs each season and organizing the Plurielles dance festival. Espaces Pluriels is active in a number of venues in Pau and the surrounding area: Le Zénith, Théâtre Saragosse, Théâtre Saint-Louis, Maison de l'étudiant, etc. To support contemporary creation and encourage encounters between audiences, it presents national and international dance and theater companies, provides creative support through creative residencies, and trains audiences through conferences, courses, school classes, etc

From the pocket theater created in 1998 by director Thierry Luz and Alice Gheorghiu to today's 80-person Tam Tam Théâtre, there has been a great deal of evolution. "Crossing iron with dance, interweaving body and image, combining song, music, mask and clown are all acts we are proud to defend..." proclaims the 8-strong TTT team, who work year-round and employ other artists on their creative projects. TTT's aim is to mix artists, encourage encounters and original creations... It is also open to other structures, by hosting more and more professional shows.
