At the Laurette Theater

Our desire to share with artists, companies, producers and all professions that enhance performance was born from an exceptional encounter.

Laurette is generous, attentive and in love with others.

It’s everything she communicated to us that makes this performance hall a charming, intimate and warm place.

It is in each of your steps that we find Laurette, our Laurette, and in each of your applause that we find her smile.

Thank you to everyone who helps us exist every day.


In tribute to Laurette, our friend for life.

Our performance hall in Paris


 Our historic performance hall is located in the 10th arrondissement of Paris, where culture and entertainment skillfully intersect. Created in 1981 under the name “Théâtre de la Mainate”, we decided to change its name in order to pay tribute to our dear friend Laurette Fugain. This café-theatre allows the diversity of audiences that we attract to discover live performance in all its forms: dance, one-man-show, modern or traditional theater, shows for children... There is a choice for young and old alike. bigger.
 

Our Lyon theater


It was in Lyon that we decided to open another performance hall in the La Villette district. The city is cradled by many cultures and important cultural intersections, which is a very interesting area for creating and broadcasting live shows . In this room welcoming less than 50 people, we wanted to continue to disseminate our warm vision of culture for all, where exchanges and sharing are masters.


Our performance hall in Avignon

The city of Avignon no longer has its reputation in terms of theater and live shows. It is thanks to its famous OFF Festival that the city has gained a reputation as the greatest live show in the world. This is why we have both a year-round room to offer a rich and diverse program, but also a room that only opens in July, during the Festival period. With this in mind, we always try to offer young companies as well as more established ones. It is thanks to this freedom to manage our program that we are able to offer you shows for children, modern dance or comedy all year round.

Tribute to Julien Rey and his remarkable work


It is with immense pleasure and a deep recognition that we want to pay tribute to ** Julien Rey **, talented playwright whose work continues to mark the contemporary theatrical landscape.


We have a particularly moved memory of the representation of his play ** "people without anyone" ** on our boards in July 2013. This exceptional creation, which knew how to touch our audience and our artistic team in the heart, was awarded the prestigious ** Tournesol ** Prix, deserved recognition of a rare quality writing work.


Julien Rey's work is distinguished by his unique ability to explore the depths of the human condition with remarkable sensitivity and striking dramaturgical acuity. "People without anyone" perfectly embodies this demanding artistic approach, offering spectators a theatrical experience that is both overwhelming and enriching.


Today, we have the honor to make you discover or rediscover this major work, now accessible in its entirety on the Atramenta platform. This free provision of the text, accompanied by its complete history, testifies to the author's desire to generously share his art with the greatest number.


We warmly invite you to dive into this captivating dramatic universe by following this link: 

People without anyone on atramenta, click here.

Let this reading allow you to appreciate the singular talent of Julien Rey and offers you the opportunity to (re) discover a work that has marked our theatrical history in an indelible way.


A tribute deserved to an author whose pen continues to illuminate the scenes and the hearts.
